- Vintage Notes:
Each variety was picked at its optimum and fermented separately. The fruit was harvested using the select harvester which leaves the berries in excellent condition leading to an enhanced fruit driven style. Careful fermentation and hand plunging meant the fruit retained its integrity throughout the ferment.
- Vineyard Notes:
Sourced from the delightful sub region of the Great Southern - Frankland River. The vineyard is characterised by its ironstone gravel over clay soils which lead to a ferrous character within the wine. Vines are 20+ years old. Whilst 2024 was a quick, early and warm vintage, the age of the vines meant they were able to withstand the pressure of the season’s weather and instead grew harmoniously and produced lovely balanced fruit.
- Winemaking:
Soft pressing and aging in older French oak, before blending after 11 months and bottling has led to this delightful and approachable style. Stainless steel static fermenters, maturation in older french oak barrels.
- Bouquet:
Grenache dominates the nose with cherry, raspberry and mulberry characters, the shiraz brings pluminess and star anise. The Mourvèdre is contributing cherry ripe and dark chocolate aromas.
- Palate:
Soft, generous, immensely and immediately approachable and lavish palate. Cherries, strawberries, red berried fruits initially are present before the star anise and vanilla from the shiraz with its plum characters underscores the entire palate. Fine, juicy tannins encourage the wines approachability.
Please note some wines may take 3-5 days to prepare for shipping.
