|---|---|
| Description: | Vineyard Region: Barossa. Vintage Conditions: Great winter rain fall allowed for a fantastic start to the 2012 vintage. With soil profiles full of moisture and even cool to warm days with cool nights allowed for a very long and even ripening period. A small heat spike early in the New Year hurried ripening on a little but the cool nights and good moisture levels held the vines canopies intact and protected the fruit from over exposure. Technical Analysis: Harvest Date: March - May 2012. pH: 3.6. Acidity: 6.4g/L. Alcohol: 14.44%. Residual Sugar: 1.0g/L. Bottling Date: August 2013. Grape Variety: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Grenache, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo. Maturation: This wine was matured in a combination of French and American oak for 12 months. Color: Rich dark red in colour with a dark purple rim. Nose/palate: "This wine has lots of upfront fruit while having a soft round structure and a slight hint of oak. The aromas and flavours show fresh berries, plums and vanilla. The palate is rich and plush with good structure. The soft velvety tan-nins provide balance and length. This wine can be enjoyed now, but will also improve with short term cellaring". - Richard Mattner (Winemaker). |
