Barossa Valley, Australia
About this product
Independent wineryBarossa Valley, AustraliaDeep ruby, purple in colour showing intense and creamy aromas of dark compote berry fruit with hints of blackberry, plums and mulberries peeking through. On the palate waves of the same dark berry fruit show early providing a density and voluptuousness to the mouth-feel that remains deep into the mouth and rolls out through the back. It is joined by just a hint of spice and some subtle glimpses of faint leather and sandalwood.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vines planted 1847, bunch and berry-sorted, 4 days cold soak, 12-day ferment, some additional time post-ferment, matured in French (90%) and American (10%) oak, (30% new). Deeply coloured, the mouthfeel is part velvet, part succulent, the softness of the tannins part of the same glorious jigsaw puzzle wine of a different kind. It's too much to ask of a cork I suppose, this one isn't great.
