Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

The appearance is a deep inky dark red with magenta plum around the rim. High alcohol leaves long sticky legs on the glass.

Aroma

The bouquet shows earthy spice and toasty oak up front. With a little breathing the nose opens up to show some perfumed floral elements with a smokey edge (tar and roses). With further time the alcohol sweetness lifts the raspberry confection aromas and rich dark chocolate. The aroma is quite intense and very long lasting. It’s earthy and dry with delicate perfumed complexity adding intrigue.

Palate

The flavour is big, earthy and dry with smokey oak and ripe berry fruit following onto the palate with dusty mouth filling tannins. The fruit characters are solid and dry with nicely balanced sweet elements adding to the overall weight and structure. Like many of Peter Jorgensen’s wines, it’s a journey from entry to aftertaste. The flavours evolve through the experience, developing complex characters that linger on the back palate until the next taste.

Food Matching

Strongly flavoured meat dishes with rich gravies and sauces are the key for this wine. The type of sauce that takes a chef days to reduce made from heirloom stock recipes has complex flavours and richness. Matching them with wines of this intensity makes for a powerful combination.

Cellaring Potential

This wine is perfectly balanced and full of rich, luscious flavours, there’s almost no reason to keep it in the cellar however, like the rest of the range, this wine is made to keep for up to a decade. It’s a premium wine, made with care and passion.

Winery Profile

The “Reserve” label is kept for premium parcels of outstanding wine identified by Peter Jorgensen for their rich fruit intensity, complex flavours and structure combined with their long term aging ability. At the core of all “Reserve” wines is premium vineyard management and minimal intervention winemaking. The resulting wines are limited quantity batches of natural wines with minimal filtration or additives. They are wines that take time to evolve and are given extended cellar maturation to allow all elements to become integrated before bottling. The aging process will continue in bottle and this wine will develop a light crust over time.

Please allow this wine to breathe for 30 minutes prior to consuming.
