All Hallow's Eve Merlot 2009
|
| |
|
|
COLOUR: Youthful crimson red.
AROMA: Fresh raspberry, black plums and cassis notes complemented by background nutmeg oak.
PALATE: A supple, juicy, medium bodied red with dominant red cherry and raspberry fruit flavours balanced by fine, varietal tannins.
VINIFICATION & MATURATION: Select vineyard parcels from throughout Hawke’s Bay were identified for their aromatic and palate balance. All parcels were 100 per cent destemmed and fermented separately on skins for a period of up to eight days. After malolactic fermentation in tank, parcels were put to older oak barrels to soften tannins whilst one parcel was kept in tank to maintain it vibrant aromatics. Once maturation was complete, components underwent final blending targeting wine parcels of naturally lower alcohol, followed by a further winery alcohol tweak before bottling set the lower alcohol style.
