Limestone Coast and Langehorne Creek, South Australia. Tasting notes: Vibrant purple hues with a deep ruby red core. The nose has masses of black fruits, red currants and spice which support hints of espresso and dried spice notes. On the palate, the wine is soft yet maintains expressions of cassis, anise and earthiness. Savoury, rich and yet balanced and restrained. This release will provide excellent mid to long term cellaring potential.
Vinification: The fruit was crushed, then pumped over twice a day to enhance colour, flavour and tannins. Ten days skin contact. Fermentation with a Rhone isolate yeast was at 18-24 degress C. Extended maceration resulted in savoury, long-chain tannins which gives a soft, approachable palate. The wine matured for 14 months in oak, and was bottled early to maintain a fresh, lifted fruit character.
