Winemakers Notes
An early release, ‘joven’ (young) style of Tempranillo. A soft extraction process followed by ageing in old french oak for only four months, preserves the soft and aromatic flavours. Giving the wine a fresh, juicy and vibrant palate with soft tannins and an elegant finish.
Vineyards
The vineyards are located in the southern end of the Adelaide Hills which is quite a cool part of the hills. The vines are located on a loamy soil over clay which influences the fruit flavours of the grapes and resulting wine with soft fruit and fine tannins.
Tasting Notes
The resulting wine from the vineyard and winemaking is a very easy drinking wine. It is fresh, fruity, juicy and delicious. It has strong and striking aromatic floral fruits characters which is persistent through to the palate and taste. Such an easy drinking wine to enjoy, consider drinking this wine chilled slightly during the warmer months.
Joven Style
A significant influence towards making this style is to press the grapes at an earlier stage of fermentation. Pressing the ferment at this stage means that less tannins were able to build up in the wine resulting in a much softer wine. A wine what allows it to be drunk at an early age. The wine spent a small amount of time in old french oak barrels to build some influence of oak but not to subdue the fresh juiciness of the wine.
