Tasting Notes
colour
A vibrant purple with hints of raspberry.
aroma
Vibrant warm spice aromas leap from the glass with cinnamon and star anise coming to the fore.
palate
Fresh and modern, the palate is powder fine with the most elegant of tannin structure. Succulent red cherries and raspberry flavours are tied together with an almost ethereal minerality and fresh acidity coursing through the wine.
cellaring
Drink now and enjoy over the next two to three years.
Technical
vintage
The 2022 season saw due a continuation of the La Nina weather patterns, with cooler weather and lots of rain prior to the growing season providing healthy vine growth. Cooler vintage temperatures produced fruit with vibrant natural acidity and more refined, delicate characteristics. Frost early on in the season caused some lower yields, however the resulting fruit shows deliciously concentrated flavour.
winemaking
An exciting new school wine from Dalwhinnie that celebrates our amazing original vineyard high in the Pyrenees. It’s a wine that celebrates the beauty of single vineyard wines and simplistic, hands-off winemaking.
The fruit for this wine was handpicked and wild fermented (40% whole bunch) in a single 1.5T fermenter without cooling control. Fruit was pressed after 12 days on skins to older, large format oak. Maturation for 12 months on gross less prior to bottling.
