Producer
Intense in aroma and deep in colour with blackcurrants, black wine gums and floral notes. The 2019 Montepulciano is dense and concentrated on the palate. Smooth initially, it develops a grainy texture with lots of fruity flavours and a chewy bitter cherry finish. Grapes were grown on Geoff’s Wirrega Vineyards in Limestone Coast in the southeast of South Australia.
Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Lagrein Limestone Coast/Adelaide Hills
Savoury aromas are complemented by those of raspberries and cherries. Hand Crafted Lagrein is a full-bodied red with dark fruits and rustic chewy tannins. Lagrein, a variety from the north of Italy, was grown at Wirrega in Limestone Coast and the K1 vineyard in Adelaide Hills. Grapes were fermented in small open fermenters and the wine matured for a lengthy 21 months in seasoned French oak.
Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Tannat Adelaide Hills
Lavender, blueberries, spearmint and fresh earth combine to create an interesting bouquet. On the palate, it is smooth and mouth-filling with a dense grainy texture. It was matured for 24 months in seasoned French oak barrels and hogsheads. Tannat is historically grown in the southwest of France to produce Madiran wines.
