Tasting Notes
Palate
This wine is designed to be an easy drinking red wine that over delivers for the price. The Shiraz component gives the wine a nice blue fruit character and good depth of flavour, the Grenache shows plenty of juicy red fruits and the Mataro gives the wine structure and an earthy character.
Vinification
The Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache were all harvested separately, when each variety was at optimum ripeness. All three varieties were destemmed in the vineyard, and whole berry, natural fermentation was allowed to commence. Fermentation took place in open fermenters and were then gently pumped over, twice daily, to achieve gentle extraction of colour. Once each variety reached dryness, they were pressed and put to French oak for 10 months. Each variety was kept separate until it was blended just prior to bottling. No fining agents were used, so this wine is Vegan friendly.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now or cellar for 5 years.
Food Matching
This is the perfect BBQ wine, and works extremely well chilled in warmer weather.
