Eighty Acres is a range of wines that are approachable upon release, accesssible to all, and refreshingly down to earth. Shiraz and Viognier is picked at night and early in the morning to retain the fresh varietal flavours. The berries are destemmed, the juices are pressed out to a mix of vinimatic and static fermenters. A warm, controlled co-fermentation (Shiraz and Viognier), is carried out after inoculation by select yeast strains that highlight varietal characteristics. The wine is filled to a mixture of French and American oak barrels for malolactic fermentation. Post malo, the components are assembled and treated to minimal filtration prior to bottling.
Medium deep red with purple hues. An intense aroma of lifted spice and dark blood plums along with subtle apricot. Underlying aromas of vanilla, and cherries dipped in dark chocolate add to the complexity. Eighty Acres is medium bodied and juicy in texture. It has a delicacy and displays sweet, concentrated fruit flavours of juicy plums and blackberry, along with subtle spicy apricot. Integrated and balanced with an enjoyable persistence to the finish.
