TW Gisborne Carménère 2022
Description
- American & French oak
- Black cherry
- Dried herbs
- Complex & structured
Bright garnet hued, the complex nose of this unique Carménère shows characters of spiced black cherry compote, with hints of cardamom and tobacco. The palate is elegant and silken, with flavours of black Doris plum, Italian herbs and truffle. Finishing with echoes of autumn tamarillo, the structure of this wine is wonderfully fine and integrated. The aromas and flavours of this Carmenere benefit from decanting and allowing to warm and breath for full enjoyment.
Harvested after an interesting season full of complex weather patterns and then gently destemmed. Partially crushed Carmenere berries were then plunged twice daily in a small open fermenter while complexity enhancing yeast conducted the ferment. Once dry, the Carmenere skins were pressed from the wine, and the wine was transferred to American and French barriques for malolactic fermentation. After 18 months maturation in wood, this wine was fined with traditional fresh egg white before filtration and bottling.
Food Pairing: This complex and elegant Carmenere will partner perfectly with confit duck, flavourful mushroom ragu with rosemary and thyme, and wild venison carpaccio.
