Gipsie Jack Petit Verdot 2007
|
| |
|
|
The fruit for this Petit Verdot comes from a small hand tended patch of vines. Smart Dyson trellis system provides a divided canopy. This allows optimum sunlight and exposure for full ripening and vine balance. This promotes flavour and tannin ripeness (physiological ripeness), not just sugar ripeness.
Petit Verdot was hand picked from a single block.
De-stemmed and crushed.
Cold soaked for approx 48 hours to ensure the retention of fruit flavours.
Inoculated with yeast.
Ferment continued over 7 days in small open top fermenters.
Wine is hand plunged 2-3 times per day.
Towards the end of ferment wine is drained, pressed and racked to oak.
Maturation occurred in a mixture of both old and new French Oak.
This wine spent 22 months in barrel prior to bottling.
Dark red and purple in colour with a fruit driven nose of ripe black and dark berry fruits, lifted floral/perfumed aromas are also present. The palate shows exceptional depth and fruit weight, spicy oak integration, excellent length and fine-grained tannins.
