Tasting Notes
30% whole bunch, made and fermented in much the same way as our 2018 wine. 10-17 days on skins and 10 months élevage in old French oak. We picked this a little earlier than the 2018 to inject a bit more freshness into the wine. Cherries, cherries and more cherries, with a beautiful mineral streak through the wine. Mouth watering acidity, with gentle fine tannins. Around 16 months in bottle now and ready to rock! - Distributor 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
