Product Tasting Notes

WINEMAKER’S NOTE: An authentic style of Tempranillo with well resolved tannins and great length of flavour. Some new American oak maturation has imparted a rich toasty vanillin oak note to balance the spicy cherry fruit and earthy flavours of the variety.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS:  A cool, rather challenging vintage

VINEYARDS: Our Tempranillo vineyards are in the warmer northern Margaret River zone with gravel soils over an ironstone base. All vines are vertically shoot positioned and run in north south aspect.

VINIFICATION: Hand-picked fruit was fermented in open vats with 15% of the blend fermented in new American oak. A 10% addition of carbonic maceration material was added after oak maturation.
