Tasting Notes
Aroma
Beautiful floral aromas, this sings elegance. The whole bunch compnent adds
a nice smokiness to the wine, and gives an extra layer of tannin that helps
bring it all together.
Appearance
Bright ruby red in colour.
Palate
The palate is fresh and crisp with a layer of bright red fruits that draws the
wine across the palate, makes you salivate and leaves you wanting more. The
tannins are fine and elegant, and the acidity gives this wine a lot of precision
on the palate.
Vinification
20% whole bunch was used to give this wine some crunch on the palate, and
some spice and lift on the nose. The remainder of the fruit was gently de-
stemmed out in the vineyard and fermented as whole berries to give a nice
carbonic maceration juiciness to the wine. The wild ferment was plunged
twice a day in open fermenters for 12 days before gentle basket pressing.
The wine was then aged in French oak foudre & puncheons for 6 months
before blending and bottling with no fining.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now or cellar for 5-7 years.
Region Notes
60% of this blend comes from our 2001 Estate plantings, while the remaining
30% comes from Steve and Tracey Koch. This beautiful single vineyard head-
ing towards Lyndoch was planted in 1976. The west-facing slope has quite
a bit of red loam soil on top of limestone, giving the fruit great complexity.
Spur pruned on permanent arms at both vineyards.
