Tasting Notes

Appearance
A delicate pale salmon hue.

Aroma
It shows lifted floral aromas mixed with freshly picked strawberries with a balanced acidity and layered complexity that will astonish those expecting a simple quaffer.

Palate
The palate has delicate hints of rose petal, watermelon and Turkish delight, and should be consumed chilled or on ice.

Vinification
Tempranillo and Sangiovese arent your normal cohorts but the silky smooth Spaniard meets the cut and dry Italian – picked early, with the volume turned right down on all their usual bluster, to make a beautiful fusion Sangiovese was harvested on 14th February 2025 from Marandoo and the Tempranillo on 7th February 2025 from our Kilpuruna Block Each parcel was crushed in the cool of the morning to the press and held on skins for 3 hours to extract the right amount of colour. Sangiovese was held as juice, cold for 6 days, patiently waiting for the Tempranillo to become flavour ripe. The 2 juice parcels were co-fermented slow and cool to further add floral intrigue and palate nuances. Once fermentation finished, the wine spent 60 days on fluffy lees with stirring, further enhancing the wines layered complexity. A small batch was kept as full solids & fermented wild & hot in 225L barriques, & then post fermentation blended back into the parcel.
