VINEYARD REGION: Victoria THE WINE: Lifted fruit aromas of blackberry and ripe figs with spicy oak nuances are mirrored on the palate and are complimented with a fine tannin structure, vanilla spice and cedary oak. THE VINTAGE: The 2022 vintage was a challenging rollercoaster ride that included extreme weather, limited vintage staff availability and supply chain issues. Despite these challenges, the outcome has been red wines with intense flavour concentration, superb acid and tannin structure coupled with excellent fruit weight and complexity. An extremely high-quality vintage with strong aging-potential. THE WINEMAKING: The fruit for the 2022 Tempranillo was picked in early to mid March at 13.9° baumé. The grapes were picked in the cool early morning and fermented with specially selected yeast to extract and preserve their unique flavour expression. Regular pump overs continued for about 12 days with ferment temperatures reaching a peak of 26°C. The wine underwent MLF and oak maturation to build structure, complexity and varietal character. FOOD MATCHES: Enjoy this wine with Serrano ham and Manchego cheese.
