Tasting Notes
Aroma
It displays typical
lifted Cabernet aromas of mulberry with the merlot bringing more bright
red and black fruits.
Palate
Overall a bright persistent red fruited wine with soft
fine grain tannins and vibrant acidity built for early enjoyment.
Vinification
A delicate approach during fermentation with pump over’s and hand
plunging employed to give gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannins.
Extended maceration on skins for 2-4 weeks has built this wine, giving
layers to the palate and a soft tannin profile. The wine was matured in older
French barriques with for 10 months before bottling with any finning or
filtration.
Vintage Notes
2022 vintage, starting with good sub soil moisture from a wet winter, spring
experienced regular rain events that dried off in December, poor flowering
conditions resulted in very low yields giving excellent concentration.
A refresh in January with 42.5mm of rain for the month was welcomed,
this was followed by very mild cool conditions in February and March.
The cool and slow ripening period has resulted in exceptional acid
retention and complex flavour development.
Region Notes
The Murdoch Hill vineyard situated in the cool climate Adelaide Hills near
the township of Oakbank, in an undulating valley 420m in elevation.
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah selected for this wines are sourced
from a predominately east-facing slope producing fruit of more finesse by
avoiding the harsh afternoon sun. The soil structure is predominately sandy
loam over medium clay subsoil’s, with varying levels of ironstone, quartz
and schist rock.
These vines are cane pruned with vertical shoot positioning (VSP) with
extensive shoot thinning, canopy trimming and bunch thinning to control
the yield. The mild to warm ripening days with cool breezes at night
allow full ripeness whilst retaining vibrancy and freshness with
good natural acidity.
