2023 Red Field Blend

Appearance
Very bright deep crimson in colour

Bouquet
Perfumed bouquet of dark red fruits, peppercorn and lifted spice.

Palate
Light to medium bodied, with fresh acidity and juicy fruit driving the palate. Red cherry, raspberry, soft pippy tannin, and spice to close. Can be served slightly chilled on a warm day. 

Fermentation 
Shiraz (80%) and Merlot (20%) was destemmed, and then fermented in small open vats using cultured yeast, then pressed off early to tank for malolactic fermentation to maintain fruit and a softer tannin profile. The wine was then blended and bottled unfined in November 2023.

Conclusion
Enjoy now or cellar for 2 to 4 years.
