Wine Summary Image

More vigorous canopy growth during bud development in 2011, ensured fewer bunches per vine and lighter bunch weights for the 2012 vintage effectively dropping yield rates 35 - 50%. For the most part, growing conditions were optimal right through the growing season with a few temperature and rainfall events which caused some anxiety. Immediately following the high temperatures was some cool weather and a large rain event which slowed down ripening and allowed the vintage to progress at a good rate.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

The colour is a very dark red with great depth and vibrancy.

Aroma

The intense aroma sits well above the glass, displaying the fruit concentration of this terrific McLaren Vale vintage. Blackberry, cinnamon, earth, fruitcake and violets spring to the fore, blended with cedary oak, vanilla and chocolate.

Palate

The palate is powerfully structured belying its age, keeping the distinctive fruit in check. Although released as a mature wine, time will bring out the best in this amazing McLaren Vale Merlot from the most intense vintage of recent times.

Food Matching

“Enjoy with hearty Italian dishes such as Puttanesca, fresh pesto gnocchi and rosemary lamb.”
