Tasting Note |
An opulent bouquet of blueberry and dark cherry fruits with spice, pepper and chocolate notes. The palate is rich with dark fruits and cherries, pepper notes and a hint of earthiness. The mid-palate has chocolate flavors with autumnal notes flowing through to cedar and gun smoke oak on the finish. |
Technical Note |
Winemaking Region: Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria. Clone: PT23. Oak Use: Spent 18 months in 50% new and 50% 1 year old French oak barriques. Winemaking: The fruit was hand picked and de-stemmed to small 3 tonne open fermenters and cold soaked for 5 days. Fermentation was wild with the temperature peaking at 28 degrees. The wine was hand plunged once a day and pressed at dryness. It then underwent a wild malolactic fermentation in barrel where it was left maturing. After 18 months the wine was blended, fined, filtered and bottled. |
