Description

  • Subtle oak
  • Ripe red fruit
  • Mulberry & blackberry
  • Powdery tannins

"Oak tending to dominate the red fruit on the nose with a ‘very complete palate’, that’s soft and generous and loaded with toasty oak and spicy sweet varietal fruit" Winestate 2018

"Round, juicy and fully loaded. Blue to black fruits all, with lilac floral scents providing lift and an elagance. There is a gentle tannic rasp, serving the wine well, while providing direction across the palate. A punctuation mark of anise, too" James Halliday, Australiann Wine Companion 2019

Deep dark plum, cherry red & mulberry colour. Lifted spicy cloves, hint of musky redskin with vanilla bean spice and faint zataar notes. Fig seed with spicy ripe red plum. Complex dark fruit conserve aromas of mulberry & blackberry. A rich full palate, with fleshy mulberry fruits. Subtle use of oak further adds complexity with good flavor and balance with some fine, powdery tannins evident. A well-balanced wine with great depth, length and structure.

Grapes are picked on both colour and flavour development, then gently crushed and fermented for 7-10 days at around 20 degrees. Small open top fermenters are used with hand pumping over and rack and return to ensure optimum extraction of tannins and colour. Following fermentation the wine is softly pressed into French and American oak where it undergoes natural malolactic fermentation. Following maturation the wine is blended and prepared for bottling.

Within every bottle of Beresford wine, they capture more than pure varietal expression, they capture the timeless elegance, powerful complexity and unique essence of McLaren Vale. The result is wine of great substance, exceptional balance and depth.
