Harvested at optimum ripeness from low yielding vines in the warmer Bendigo region in Western Central Victoria. The fruit was destemmed without crushing for whole berry preservation and fermented on its skins in different cuvees for different periods between 14 and 18 days. Different stainless steel vats were allowed to ferment naturally and with some vats, the introduction of a Bordeaux strain of yeast. The wines were aged for 24 months in French oak.
Wine Makers Notes:
Dark lifted blackberry fruits is again the hallmark of this vineyard. Deep notes of blackberry, mulberry and blackcurrant mingle with some plums and a hint of black olive and cigar box. With the palate the flavour mix is further complicated with some rich earthy notes and some plum like flavours. All of this finishes with firm and ripe dry tannins. This indicates that the wine will improve considerably in the next few years with bottle age before reaching its peak drinking condition.
