Cellar Release – The 2012 Special Release shows complex savoury dark cherry, briar, cedar, and dried herbs.
The palate is equally complex but it is the incredible structure, balance and depth of flavour that sets this wine apart. Tannins have softened, allowing this wine to be enjoyed anytime over the next 5 years.
A wine that will please Tempranillo enthusiasts!
Fermented in open-top vats, basket-pressed and barrel-matured for 18 months in used French oak. The palate is full of black fruits, and with significantly more tannin structure than is commonly encountered in Australia. It simply requires a Rioja mentality, and regard the wine as a baby until it has its 10th birthday party - prior to that time, you won't find overmuch joy.
