The Story
"Hand picked over three weeks, 12 micro ferments, all five clones, parcels fermented and matured individually, 12 months' maturation in French barrique (25% new), basket pressed. Eleana Anderson is one freakishly fantastic winegrower and maker, showing the way with, and the exciting future of, tempranillo in Australia. Few come close. A scent alive in rose florals, red licorice, bay leaf, earth and black and red fruits, with a depth of dried herbs, lures you in. You stay for the complexity that unfolds slowly and lingeringly, combining deep layers of flavour with a liveliness of spiciness and cacao wrapped in a savoury edginess and warm vanillin oak. An absolute cracker." 97 points Jeni Port. The Halliday Wine Companion
