Medium to deep red colour with attractive aromas of ripe blueberry, dark cherry and fruit cake plus a little graphite somewhere there in the mix. The medium bodied palate is rich and quite soft with good concentration of fruits mentioned above and little charry French oak - ideal with all sorts of roasted or grilled meats or your favourite cheese. Drink now and next 4-6 years.
The 2015 vintage was shaped by a cool winter with above average rainfall followed by a dry and quite warm spring. Budburst was almost 2 weeks earlier than normal due to the warmer conditions and as a result harvest was also very early – we commenced vintage on Feb 4th. The Summer was quite temperate and really did not get hot for any extended period. Apart from a few hot days around New Year conditions were very moderate for the rest of the harvest.
The grapes for this wine were machine harvested, transported to the winery, de-stemmed into open fermenters and cold soaked for three days before fermentation began. The wine was pumped over twice daily during ferment for approx 7 days and this was followed by draining, pressing and then maturation in French oak casks for 14 months before racking and blending. The wine was stabilised and lightly filtered prior to bottling.
Highly Rated James Halliday Wine Companion 2018
"The name denotes the rolling hills of the Clare Valley, not any particular part. The colour is a light crimson and the supple light to medium-bodied palate is perfect for casual consumption with equally user-friendly food."
