THE EMPTY QUARTER is a shiraz, mataro, grenache and touriga nacional co-ferment, with a splash of cinsault. The varieties are all picked together and fermented in open top concrete fermenters for around 10 days on skins. The wine is then pressed off into seasoned oak for approximately 12 months before bottling. Mulberry and dark cherry aromatics with dried rose and white pepper. Juicy entry on the palate, blue and dark fruits, plum, blueberry and black tea with a rose floral lift. Fine and long supple tannins give great length. A delightfully interesting blend Shiraz 38%, Mataro 24%, Grenache 21%, Touriga Nacional 10%, Cinsault 7% All from the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. Show more
