Tasting Notes
The first release of Lagrein in 2014 was a smash hit and now this version was picked a little earlier to create a livelier, fresher iteration. Super Italian in style, it's packed with dark red fruits over a core of green herbs and earth. Its balance between savoury tannins and racy acidity makes it sit at a spot-on pitch. Don't be deceived by the colour, this is a distinctly fresh medium bodied wine. 20PPM SO2 addition at bottling. - Winery Note
Architect by day, winemaker by night, David Caporaletti is calculated and precise as much as he is rogue and experimental in his winemaking. Having made wine fo the last few year, David shows mind-boggling intuition with his 'less-is-more' mantra. With fruit sourced from the Adelaide Hills and Wrattonbully, AOW wines show restraint in all the right places - both in skin contact time, use of oak and extraction of tannin. Another great reason why The Hills is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemakers with access to great fruit, sensibility and a taste for adventure in their craft. - Distributor Note
