Tasting Notes
Aroma
Lifted aromas of black cherries, raspberries and nutmeg.
Appearance
Magenta in colour with vibrant purple hues.
Palate
A juicy palate of mulberries, plums and cherry fruits, with
hints of cinnamon spice and soft tannins that give it structure.
Vinification
This wine has been produced from our best parcel of
Tempranillo grapes picked in mid February from our
Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard. The grapes were crushed and
cold soaked for 3 days, and then fermented in an open
stainless steel fermenter for 10 days with pump overs twice a
day. The wine was pressed and put to 100% French oak
puncheons to undergo maturation for 8 months before being
blended, filtered and bottled early to retain its bright,
fruit characteristics.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now, or over the next 5+ years.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage began in the Hunter Valley with significant
late spring rainfall which then gave way to drier but cooler
than average weather through December and January.
The resulting long, cool ripening period allowed
for the grapes to develop complex and intense flavours,
whilst maintaining freshness and bright acidity.
