Lots of juicy cherries, ripe strawberries and raspberries on the palate with hints of rosewater and fairy floss. The natural acidity and sweetness in balance, carry these flavours and leave a lingering finish which is clean and crisp.
Perfect with a confit duck salad with pickled cherries and rocket or just on its own for a perfect lazy afternoon drink!
Made from 80-year-old Grenache bush vines planted on Woodstock Estate, the grapes are hand picked and made to a style enjoyed at Woodstock... deliberately fruity and full of flavour.
The crushed grapes are cold soaked for up to 24 hours to allow good colour and flavour. The skins are then lightly pressed and discarded while the juice ferments slowly until the desired level of natural residual sweetness is reached. The ferment is stopped with chilling and the finished wine is held cold in tanks, then bottled in small runs to ensure freshness.
Woodstock wines have been created by both Scott Collett and Ben Glaetzer since 1999; Scott in the vineyards, Ben in the cellars and jointly in the tasting room. Their philosophy is to capture the essence of McLaren Vale, ensuring absolute quality at every stage from the vineyards to the bottle.
