The Master 2022

|

Bright deep purple colour.
The nose displays spicy, savoury aromas, with a rusticity to it counterbalanced by notes of cherry dark currants and red plums.

On the palate this wine is powerful and to the point, with juicy red fruit and subtle oak tones to complement. The savoury nature of Montepulciano shows towards the finish, where firm tannins, black olive and herbaceous characters linger on.

Medium bodied, multifaceted, and textural, this is a wine for any occasion and a multitude of food pairings.

Deep soaking winter rains that trickled into spring provided a spectacular start to the growing season. The moist soils minimised the threat of frosts, followed with a mild spring at bud break made for a promising start to an incredible vintage. Despite its dryness, the growing season was relatively mild. Warm days, cool nights and little to no disease pressure gave rise to fruit rich in flavour and naturally high acid, all with relatively modest sugar levels. The wines produced from 2022 will drink well young and many, if allowed, will cellar well to remind us of the great vintage.
