2022 Lagrein Hand Crafted

Hand Crafted

Limestone Coast / Adelaide Hills

Story:  Lagrein is a relatively curious north east Italian grape variety well suited to Australian viticultural sites.

Vintage:  2022 Higher than average rainfall over winter followed by a warm and dry spring resulting in even budburst and a textbook start for the vintage. A cool but relatively dry summer gave us beautiful even ripening conditions. This slow ripening allows great flavour development and retention of natural acidity

Nose:  The nose offers beautifully complex aromas of chocolate, blueberry, plums and rhubarb with a hint of aniseed.

Palate:  The palate is rich and opulent with smooth flavours of dark plums, mulberries and spice, complemented by a tight, lingering finish.

Pairing:  Try with mild goat curry served with flat bread and cumin infused potato. Click For Recipe

Oak maturation:  21 months in seasoned French oak.
