2022 Lagrein Hand Crafted

Hand Crafted Limestone Coast / Adelaide Hills Story: Lagrein is a relatively curious north east Italian grape variety well suited to Australian viticultural sites. Vintage: 2022 Higher than average rainfall over winter followed by a warm and dry spring resulting in even budburst and a textbook start for the vintage. A cool but relatively dry summer gave us beautiful even ripening conditions. This slow ripening allows great flavour development and retention of natural acidity Nose: The nose offers beautifully complex aromas of chocolate, blueberry, plums and rhubarb with a hint of aniseed. Palate: The palate is rich and opulent with smooth flavours of dark plums, mulberries and spice, complemented by a tight, lingering finish. Pairing: Try with mild goat curry served with flat bread and cumin infused potato. Click For Recipe Oak maturation: 21 months in seasoned French oak.
