The Details

Tasting Note Bright ruby in colour with moderate intensity, typical of the variety. Aromas of fresh, red summer berries, raspberry and boysenberry with hints of blue florals such as violets and subtle spice. A cooler vintage has delivered a crisp, crunchy texture and fine, bright acidity with vibrant red fruits and medium body. There are some earthy undertones, highlighting the unique Tasmanian terroir.
Best Enjoyed With Ideal for spring and summer with grilled salmon, terrines, mushroom risotto or slightly chilled as an aperitif.
Treatment The fruit was hand-picked and all bunches destemmed prior to being placed in an open top fermenter. Fermentation commenced naturally after three days and concluded three days later with gentle twice daily plunging. The wine was then drained into a tank with pressings added back for one day before being racked to one year and older French oak barriques. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation during its 4 months in barrel.
