Description

Full, very dark, near impenetrable black-red colour with youthful purple hues on the rim. The nose is gently full and softly concentrated with youthful, primary aromas of ripe, black berry fruits and spicy black plums, unfolding fragrant herbs, camphor and cedary oak elements. Medium-bodied, gently rich and sweet flavours of blackberries and spiced black plums feature on the palate and reveal spice, herb and cedary oak detail and interest.

Vineyard

Single vineyard wine. First planted in 1986. Merlot is 100% clone 6. Malbec was planted in 1988, 100% Clone 595. Pruned to 2 cane spur. Cropped to 3.5 tonne / Acre. All the grapes used for this wine are grown on a sustainable viticulture approved site

Vinification

The grapes were gently harvested by hand and sorted, gently destemmed to small open top tanks. A cold soak took place for approximately 7 days. The wild yeast were allowed to naturally take hold. Fermentation was conducted hot to give the wild yeast free reign on fruit flavours and texture ferment lasted approximately 2 weeks. The wine was gently pressed directly to barrel, where it completed malo-lactic fermentation. Matured in barrel for 18 months. The wine is unfined and unfiltered. Keeping in line with Moana Park’s philosophies, this product has had no animal products, sugar, or additives of any type used on it.
