McLaren Vale Touriga
Vineyard: Cutting edge viticulture teamed with exceptional wine making has delivered a superb wine from the South Australian McLaren Vale region. The vineyard is constantly monitored and managed to deliver premium grapes.
Season: The growing season kicked off to a good but slightly drier start than previous years. This followed into summer proving challenging with overall fruit production quantities. Frost and disease pressure was low, with a few damaging hail storms causing slight scaring on the wine grapes. January to February recorded some extreme hot temperatures which enabled a generous ripening, with small grape bunches reaching maximum concentration and flavour.
Winemaking: Hand picked fruit was carefully sorted before gentle pressing into open fermenters. Basket pressed and matured in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.
Appearance: Bright violet-blue, with hints of deep dark red and purple.
Aroma/Bouquet: The aroma is an astonishing abundance of pen ink, graphite, mineral and ironstone. The fruit captures sweet nuances of lavender with plum and tangerine skins.
Palate: A textural and delightful balance of acid and tannins. Luscious, sweet, blue and red fruits such as mulberry, blueberry and cranberry greet your palate before a powerful and rewarding, savoury long finish.
Food Pairing: Char-grilled scallops, chorizo and white bean stew.
Alcohol: 14.5%
