Screwcap/Stelvin

Grapes from the 76-year-old Old McDonald vineyard on Blewitt Springs’ white sandy soils were fermented with 20% whole bunch, lending a Negroni aromatised herb and orange peel edge to its pithy pomegranate, taut red cherry and juicier raspberry and watermelon fruit. Plentiful spice, musky sandalwood and a raft of striated, sandpapery tannins lend piquancy and energy. Lovely structure and length. Aged nine months in a 4500L, eight-year-old French-oak vat; bottled unfiltered.
