Made from a single vineyard located in Tea Tree, Coal River Valley, Tasmania.
The one tonne of fruit was hand picked then de-stemmed retaining the whole berries into the fermenter (30% whole bunch). The fruit was cold soaked for almost a week before inoculating fermentation. Gentle plunging during the extended fermentation and then pressed once the wine had fermented ‘dry’. Matured in older french oak barriques the wine was left for 10 months until bottling. Minimal Sulphur. No Fining. No Filtration.
Bright ruby with purple highlights. Strawberry aromas, black cherry, hints of vanilla and spice, red currant The palate has upfront fruits in the red spectrum - raspberry, strawberry, red currant and cherry with supportive acid profile. Supportive oak characters in the background the wine shows medium length and persistent finish.
