2008 / 2006
Vintage
2008 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 2008 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, sweet red and black cherry aromas.
Palate
Full bodied with generous fruit flavour, star anise and spice with hints of chocolaty and earthy tones on its finish.
Suggested Food
Rich tomato veal scallopini or pasta.
Cellaring
A ready to drink wine.
