Grape Varieties
64% Mourvedre, 30% Tannat, 6% Syrah
Winemaking & Maturation
The vines are grown on Malmesbury shale on deep red clay, and were harvested between February – March 2007. All the grapes were hand picked and fermented in stainless steel tanks, they were soft pressed to allow fruit dominant characteristics. The wines were matured in 2nd and 3rd fill French and American oak for 10 months.
Tasting Note
This wine is created to show the fresh, fruity and spice driven flavours of these Rhone varietals. The colour is youthful and purple / red. The nose is one of crushed black pepper, dark mulberry and mixed berry coulis. Pure, clean dark red berry flavours flow onto a smooth palate.
Food Recommendations
Delicious served with gourmet pizza or a carpaccio with rocket salad.
