Description

Mr Whirly says;

” I have been working with Brick Kiln for over 15 years and this is their 4th vintage of this wine that I have imported into the UK. It’s a big bold wine, full of intensity and vitality yet also some great deal of finesse. It can be cellared for up to 10-12 years”

Winemakers notes:

” After  a wet winter and cold Spring the grapes from the Nine Gums Vineyard were harvested later than usual on the 23rd March. Following open Fermentation for 10 days and basket pressing the wine was matured in predominantly American Oak hogsheads ( 35 % New) for 20 Months. The wine is dark rich ruby in colour with powerful aromas of blackberry, dark plum and rich chocolate, with some coconut and vanilla from the American Oak. On the palate the wine delivers a wonderful array of dark red berries, rich red plums with caramel and peppery spice overtones. Fruit and oak tannins are soft and well integrated leaving a deep and lingering flavour on the mid/back palate.”
