Description
The blend is comprised of Nero, Sangiovese, Lambrusco (not as you know it) and a splash of Syrah. All of these varieties were fermented and aged separately in stainless steel and Amphora. And although on paper it reads like a big red blend, it is very far from that. It is light, very delicate with an extremely pretty structure. It drinks like a premium Jura Pinot noir more than anything else. Translucent pale red in colour with energy and elegance to burn.
All of the fruit was grown in an ultra-rocky mix of Ironstone, Dolerite, Green Basalt & Jasper on the slopes of Mt Camel and was monitored very closely once we got close to picking. I had making this wine in this style in mind so the timing of picking was crucial. Perfectly balanced acid to flavour ripeness has equated to a very elegant and poised wine.
