ALTA
Winemaker Sarah Fletcher, had a very clear vision for Alta from day one. She wanted to showcase South Australia's Adelaide Hills as an outstanding cool climate wine region, selecting specific varieties and handpicking quality fruit. This has allowed her to create fresh, varietal wine styles with depth and obvious regional character.
"My aim is to produce wines from varieties that thrive in the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills, each showing strong varietal character and distinctive regional expression."
Oak maturation
Malolactic fermentation in new and old French oak. Individual parcels were blended together and the final wine was aged in new and old French oak for a further 10 months.
Colour
Soft ruby red.
Aroma
Youthful red berries, pink musk and fragrant rosehip.
Palate
Luscious, fruit driven mid palate with fleshy raspberry and black cherry flavours. Earthy spice and black licorice from barrel fermentation adds to the interest of the wine. Savoury tannis give structure and balance.
