Celebrating the ancient clay soils of our Seppeltsfield Vineyard this Garnacha is well structured and elegant, bursting with Barossa class and flavour.
Deep brick red. The saturated nose of cedar, oak, spice and roasted meat precedes a palate of spice, cassis, vegetal and liquorice. The intense palate is multilayered and fills the mouth with gripping tannins that long for another sip. A long linear wine that begs for a plate of cured meats, olives and cheese.
Picked early April the wine was destemmed and fermented in open top. Post fermentation the wine macerated for three weeks before being basket pressed and matured in French oak for 14 months.
Good rainfall late in winter and early spring gave the vineyards a great start to the season followed by ideal day and night temperatures for fruit ripening particularly towards the end of the season enabling harvest delay to encourage perfect tannin ripeness.
