Tasting Notes
Aroma
This wine has intense scents of violets, rhubarb and blackberries exploding out of the glass.
Palate
On the palate there is the unique Satsuma plum with blueberries, dark chocolate, spice and tobacco. The wine is voluptuous and intense, with elegant fine tannins, the hallmark of a Langhorne Creek Malbec.
Vinification
The fruit was fermented in a small blue open top fermenter called Blue Tongue Lizard allowing maximum extraction of colour and flavour. Partial whole berry fermentation, (mainly because the berries are so small they cannot be crushed) allows for greater complexity. The small batch ferment was kept cooled all through its ferment and then left on skins for several days prior to oak. The wine was matured in old Hungari- an barriques for 9 months prior to bottling. No additives are used in its production ex- cept minimal sulphur dioxide.
Cellaring Potential
This wine is enjoyable now, but has the structure to flower into a classic over the next 4-6 years.
