2008 / 2006
Vintage
2006 was an excellent harvest for quality with good fruit set, clean weather during the
grape’s development and a cooler spell in March / April to afford generous flavour
expression.
Winemaking
The 2006 sangiovese and shiraz grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning to
maximise fruit quality. Separate batches were fermented to obtain distinct and accurate
flavour profiles from within our vineyards. After pressing, the wine was blended and
stored in 2 and 3 year old American oak barriques for 12 months prior to bottling.
Colour
Deep crimson in colour with a dazzling cherry hue.
Bouquet
Fragrant strawberry and raspberry fruit aromas.
Palate
Full bodied with generous fruit and spice with hints of dried herbs on its soft finish.
Suggested Food
Rich pasta or veal scallopini.
Cellaring
A ready to drink wine.
