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. 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 red cherries. hints of fresh mint. aniseed. spice. raspberry with more ish savoury leather on the finish. Gary Walsh of Winorama enjoyed the wine 94/100!! “Perhaps the vinous equivalent of stroking a suede jacket. Large scale and very intense but not too heavy. It remains balanced and drinkable. Finishes with a long chocolate mint finish. “
