IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS
It has all the hallmark characteristics of Cottage Block, albeit emphasised due to the warmer Autumn and smaller crop. Once opened and left for 4-6 hours, the complex aromas of dark spiced fruits with hints of rhubarb and grated fresh beetroot appear. The palate is rich with a firm tannin framework and the hallmark fine acidity provides freshness and lift to the finish and length.
A billowing cloud of rose petal, five spice and fresh red cherries rise from the glass on the first approach. These subside and the darker and wild summer fruits such as boysenberry and blackberry become apparent, with cedarwood and vanillin sweetness building after 1-2 hours of opening. The palate is defined by the hallmark soft silky tannins and lifted acid profile, typical of the cottage block. Red fruits provide most of the flesh in the lingering palate. Spice derived from the fruit and whole bunch fermentation is layered with spice extracted from the French oak barriques during maturation.
