Fruit is from the Murramong Vineyard in Gruyere. 100% destemmed, short cold soak and after ferment racked to barrel of which 20% was new and matured for 10 months. A core of Bing cherries, lingonberry and wild raspberries. A dollop of blackberries and autumn leaves. There is a dried woodsy spice of cinnamon and gum bark. A shower of fresh acidity and cherry skin on the finish. Succulent and filled with powdery integrated tannins. A value buy and perfect for pork and fennel pizza.
