Description

Recommended food pairings: This blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah is a perfect opportunity to experience an incredible wine and food combination. Try it with a rare pan seared wagu eye fillet that is lightly seasoned with finely ground black pepper and salt flakes. Or why not try it with an aged Tasmanian cheddar cheese and lavosh.

Growing Conditions: A challenging vintage due to a cool and wet fruit set at the back end of 2019. This lead to low yields across all varieties. The small compact bunches delivered powerful flavours and richness. Grapes were harvested from April to mid-May 2020. The Hazards vineyard produces wines of depth and intensity with a powerful colour and flavour.

Winemaker: Tom Wallace

Winemaking notes: Fruit was destemmed and left to cold soak for several days prior to ferment. Ferments are run up to 30 degrees and pump overs carried out up to four times per day.  Malolactic fermentation happened in barrels over Spring.  We used 100% French oak, with 21% new. It was bottled with an alcohol of 13%. Vegan-friendly.
