2022 Adelaide Hills Montepulciano

The nose is bursting with violet and plum with some lighter savoury tobacco notes. The palate has plush blue and black fruits with silky tannins giving a lingering finish. This wine is singing with fresh fruit character currently and showing the promise of ageability with its structured palate. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered.

Fermented in a small open fermenter and pressed off after 8 days skin contact. The wine then spent 10 months in old French oak. Fermented with natural yeast, bottled without fining or filtering.

Single Vineyard in Kersbrook, Northern Adelaide Hills. Picked on April 14 2022
