About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Other Red BlendMargaret River, AustraliaThe various parcels of fruit that made up the 2017 Matrix were all picked, destemmed and lightly crushed separately and based on their own individual ripeness. Fermentation begins and is held at a maximum of 25°C for 10 days of rigorous pump-overs three times a day. The wine was then gently separated from the skin and transferred to French Oak barriques, 50% of which were new, to complete fermentation. The wine is then aged in French Oak for 18 months before being blended, lightly fined and filtered.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

A compelling expression of the Bordeaux style; the enticing bouquet shows blackcurrant, cranberry, vanilla and cedary wood characters with subtle dried herb complexity. The palate is gracefully powerful with stunning fruit purity together with seductive spicy complexity, wonderfully enhanced by seamless mouthfeel and smooth texture. Classically styled and refined. At its best: 2020 to 2032.
