- TASTING NOTE: Fragrant aromas of red currants, cherry confection, violets and cedar are complemented by savoury black olive, tobacco and gravel dust undertones. The velvety palate has flash and refinement, revealing hints of cassis, bitter cocoa and graphite well supported by a framework of firm but fine tannins providing length and definition to the palate.
- ABOUT THE WINE: This parcel of fruit is sourced from a tiny, gravelly block at Hazel’s Vineyard planted in 1999. To retain berry integrity the fruit was picked and gently transferred by gravity into vertical four tonne stone fermenters with no temperature control. Extraction was soft and fermentation carried out by the native yeast specific of this vineyard. After three weeks on skins the wine was softly pressed to French oak barriques, 40% of which were new. The wine was then matured in our cool underground cellars for 16 months before being racked and bottled after a coarse filtration.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: From the McHenry Hohnen team..."We aim to manage our vineyards sustainability using a range of practices that are not only ecologically sound, but also economically viable and socially responsible.
