Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bursting with blackcurrant and blueberries, this wine shows
the typical characters found in the Western side of the
Barossa- chocolate/mocha and black pepper, but with a
surprising freshness to the wine. Frankincense and
blackberries jump out of the glass, along with a slight
leafiness, which comes from the whole bunch component in
the wine.
Palate
Soft and juicy on the palate, but with a backbone
of tannin from the whole bunches that draws the wine
across the palate giving it length and precision.
Vinification
Our Purple Hands crew hand pick the fruit into half-tonne
picking bins, then foot stomped the fruit to burst the berries
and encourage the natural fermentation to commence. 18%
of this wine was fermented as whole bunch in this way, with
the balance fermented on skins for 14 days in open top
fermenters. Basket pressed to French oak foudre &
seasoned puncheons for 12 months, before bottling with no
fining.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now or cellar for 5-10 years.
