Description
Domenic Torzi ‘s vineyard was planted in 1996 on very low yielding soils in Mt Mackenzie. up in a frost proned area of eden valley. 2010 vintage has produced complex layers of flavour in this handcrafted wine. wild yeasts. some whole bunch fermentation and grapes being dried on racks (Domenic Torzi has adopted some of his italian heritage by drying the grape a bit like the valpolicella amarone or appassamento technique) predominantly french oak has produced gorgeous plush blackberry fruit. hints of cherrys. aniseed . spice. raspberry with more ish savoury leather on the finish. Day two we see exquisite layers and dimensions with more char grilled meats and boot leather come more to the fore…Gorgeous wine this is eden valley shiraz at it ‘s best! …..Seriously do not miss this
“This is the best release of the appassimento dry racked version that I ™ve tasted …Cinnamon dusted blueberries. black fruits. chocolate covered raisins. caramel. pepper spice and all manner of smooth delights. Hints of leather. meat and coffee grounds set it off. Structured by buoyant acidity and long. fine drying tannin which assures it never loses a sense of purpose either. Easy to indulge in now although I ™d be keen to see how it evolves over time. ” Jeremy Pringle. Wine Will Eat Itself.
