SEPSSSH08
Whole berry fermentation in small stainless tanks with gentle handling followed by 14 months maturation in seasoned French oak vat (5000L).
Produced by the Methode Traditionelle this wine has had 8 years aging in bottle on lees followed by individual bottle disgorgement.
Deep Garnet with a purple hue and persistent mousse. Fragrant blackberry fruit with complex spicy, meaty notes and a hint of cigar box.
Fine and long, the palate shows rich mulberry fruit combined with black olive tapenade and charcuterie finishing with rich, dark chocolatey tannins and delicately balanced sweetness.
From the Great Western Vineyard, (Bass and Arrawatta blocks), whole berry fermentation, powdery tannins in the base wine, 7+ years on lees following secondary fermentation. The liqueur d'expedition has provided 21g/l of residual sugar, at the bottom end of the scale. Shiraz shines in this wine.
