Tasting Notes
Radiant crimson red with ruby hues. Deep aromas of mulberry and boysenberry present immediate charm together with an assortment of baking spices including cinnamon and five spice. Blueberry pancakes make an appearance, as do the aromas of a forest floor on a crisp Autumn morning. Complexity is key here. On the palate, a soft entry incorporating generous blue and black fruit flavours suggests a wine of power, yet paradoxically the wine delivers on a medium bodied frame of perfect weight. Flavours of maraschino cherry and blueberry pie come to mind, all delivered with satin-like texture that drives the wine through multiple dimensions.
Vineyard Notes
This wine was sourced from the north facing Henk Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Woori Yallock.
Winemaker's Notes
A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine: whole berry/bunch fermentation in open vessels for two weeks followed by an 11 month maturation in French oak vessels.
Vintage Notes
A vintage defined by cool, wet conditions, low crops and harvesting late into autumn. The resulting wines have great depth of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities.
