BLEND:
Malbec Carmenère
Origine:
Maipo Valley
Body: Full
Alcohol: 13 %
Sweetness: Dry
OAK: Medium
THE WINE:
Bringing together two of South America’s classic grape varieties, this blend of Malbec and Carmenère is rich, ripe and balanced. Aromas of red and black berries are followed with hints of cherry, peppercorn and mineral notes. The palate is full bodied, with persisting red fruit, dark chocolate and earthy notes. As a crowd pleaser the Malbec brings a smooth textured mouthfeel. The Carmenère stands its ground as Chile’s signature grape, with juicy red fruits, dried herbs and supple tannins.
THE REGION
The Maipo Valley is one of the most important wine regions in Chile and is known for producing some of the most prestigious Chilean wines. It is situated just south of Chile’s capital Santiago and extends east to the Andes Mountains and west to the Coast. The mild Mediterranean climate is dry with warm summers and cold wet winters. The region receives very little rainfall during the hot summer months, therefore viticulturalists rely on drip irrigation to help the vines through the long dry periods. The soils are clay based and very fertile resulting in full bodied red wines.

Diving into the iconic white wines of Australia, this blend of Chardonnay and Semillon has been taken a step further with the addition of bourbon oak.

THE REGION
Southern Australia’s picturesque wine region is located east of the Barossa Valley and extends for over 300km along the Murray River. This long-established region has more Chardonnay plantings than all the Southern wine growing regions combined in Australia. Chardonnay from this region is vibrant with ripe flavours and oak is often used to support the richness of the wines and add further complexity. Riverland’s continental climate, flat terrain and long hours of sunshine mean the vines receive consistent, quality sunlight, greatly reducing their chance of disease and ensuring fully ripe, flavourful fruit.

THE REGION
The Riverland region is the largest producer of wine in all of Australia. The scenic region is located east of the Barossa Valley and extends along the Murray River for more than 300km. The hot, dry continental climate with endless sunshine and cool nights makes the region one of the most perfect places for growing grapes.

Juicy, jammy and seriously bold, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel is a winemaker’s delight. The Zinfandel brings ripe and dense berry fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon brings the backbone and framework to tie it all together. The fruit is layered with tobacco, pepper and spice, creating a distinct profile that is sought after in the finest Californian reds. The palate is rich and full bodied with well defined tannins and a soft mouthfeel. Great crowd appeal!
THE REGION
Lodi proclaims it is the Zinfandel capital of the world, with over 40% of California’s Zinfandel grown in this region. It is part of the larger Central Valley wine region and is located east of the San Francisco Bay. Lodi’s vines benefit from the cooling water, air and river breezes that are a result of being located directly east of the meeting point of California’s two largest rivers. These rivers that flow through Lodi that originate out of the Sierra Nevada mountains deposit mineral rich soils that contribute to the complex flavours that are found in the fruit from this area. It is blessed with a moderate Mediterranean style climate with warm days, low humidity and cool nights that create a perfect climate for growing flavourful, fruit forward grapes.
