Screwcap/Stelvin

Lone Palm Vineyard was established in 1992. Grapes were handpicked from three gnarly 80- to 100-year-old vineyards, two in Seppeltsfield on Barossa’s western ridge, and one on the valley floor in Nuriootpa. Winemaker Tom White fermented the grapes from each vineyard separately using indigenous yeast, with 18%-20% whole-bunch fruit and the remainder whole berries. The temperature-controlled fermentations lasted 10-12 days. Gently basket-pressed into seasoned French oak hogsheads, the wine was matured for 12 months before being bottled, unfined and unfiltered. Beth Pearce MW: Cola, vanilla and cream. Mouthwatering acidity, plum and blackberry. Bold, concentrated, with dark, brooding flavours that build to a rich finish. Overt oak flavours may soften with time. Sara Muirhead MW: Musky spiced raspberry aromas. Ripe blackberry flavours with some spice and tobacco. Toasty vanilla sweetness and zippy acidity on the finish. Ben Chan: Maraschino cherry, violets, oak spice, nutmeg. Opulent and full-bodied, with waves of complexity and savoury meat and cigar notes. A very long finish.
