Tasting Notes
This elegant and expressive fruit driven wine exhibits hints of cloves and tobacco, black pepper and ripe red cherries. Well-structured and lengthy palate with refined tannins from ageing in barrels.
Food Suggestions
Pairs well with a heart beef stew, slow cooked pork belly, oxtail stew or any venison dishes.
In The Vineyard
Our farmers grow grapes on dry-land and deep-rooted bush vines. The wines reflect the ancient soils and coastal proximity for which the Darling region is so well known. In this individually crafted range, every wine tells its own story.
Deep, dark coloured laterite soils from decomposed Granite. The sunny days and cool evenings influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean have a positive impact.
About The Harvest
Grapes are hand-picked from Bush Vine vineyards with no irrigation and a yield of about 4-6 tonnes/ha.
In The Cellar
Cold soaked for 2 days and then fermented in open tanks with a combination of pump overs and punch downs. Alcoholic fermentation is finished on the skins with extended skin contact. Aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels to perfect this wine.
Additional Information
The Darling region is also well known for the fine wheat it produces. Grain silos dot the landscape and proudly remind us of the contribution of grain to our farming community.
Not for sale to persons under the age of 18. Enjoy Responsibly.
