Willunga 100Tempranillo
About this product
The fruit for this wine comes from a vineyard in the Tatachilla sub-region of McLaren Vale on loamy sand over light clay. The vineyard sits at approximately 73m above sea level. Vines are trellised with a single cordon.Fruit was crushed and chilled to a stainless steel open fermenter for a 4 day cold soak then underwent a 100% wild fermentation. The wine was fermented to sugar dry on skins then basket pressed 3 days after alcoholic fermentation had finished when the structure of the wine felt balanced and complete. Once pressed the wine was racked off gross lees to old French oak puncheons for malolactic fermentation and maturation. Wine remained in barrel for 8 months. No fining, vegan friendly.

Delightfully ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark plum, warm spice, toasted nut, game and floral aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours and plump mouthfeel, well supported by silken texture and polished tannins. Upfront and soothing with plenty of tasty flavours.
