2009 Classic Red Wine

In 2009 we experienced a near perfect growing season with a cool, steady start with uninterrupted flowering and fruit set. A steady warn summer made for excellent ripening conditions without excessive heat.

Winemaking
Harvested at night and crushed in the cool early morning for fermentation in stainless after which, seeded with malolactic bacteria and matured for 12 months in quality French oak.

Tasting Notes
A deep, bright red in colour, showing plums, berries, spice and hints of eucalypt on the nose, with a rich full palate with structure and length from the Cabernet.

Food Matching
This traditionally Australian blend is supple and ripe and will match well with grilled meats, hearty salads and most styles of ripe cheese.
