Description
Perhaps Australia’s first Trousseau? Wild-fermented on skins in amphorae for two weeks before pressing off to an aged French barrique, on fine lees. Regular lees-stirring for three months before hand-bottling straight from barrel. Unfined, unfiltered, bare minimum of sulphur.
Light brick red colour with purple hues. Vibrant sour red cherry and purple plum aromas, some rose-petal florals, herbal sage and thyme, and a potpourri of scented spice and earth.
The palate is medium-weight yet with concentrated flavours of sweet plum and savoury tomato. Exotic spice and delicate pepper, perfume, spice, earth, leather and leaf.
Enjoyed with or without food.
