"The wine shows deep red and purple colours in the glass and fragrant notes of dark berries and warm spices on the nose. The palate is an abundance of rich flavour, framed by silken tannin and a long, lingering finish.
The fruit was hand picked and fermented separately in open slate fermenters for 6 – 7 days. A portion of the wine was fermented in new French oak hogsheads (10%), with the balance in a selection of seasoned French and American oak hogsheads for 18 months.
The vintage will be remembered as one of best in living memory. The wines across the board are varietal driven, fruit rich and have a lively youthfulness that is remaining intake as the ageing process evolves in barrel. There is an amazing density of colour and vibrant/inviting hues to all wines. The tannins are full ripe and silky in structure and the length of fruit weight on the pallet and length is intensifying with ageing. The wines are very clean in appearance, aided by the structured the berries had at harvest with no heat to break down the pulp and skins." - Greenock Creek
