A base of black forest cake kicks off the palate; kirsch, liquorice and truffle oil hint seductively at aged characters. This is spiked with black pepper and cinnamon and rounded off with gentle vanilla from partial French oak influence. Tactile tannins carry the depth of flavour onto the dry palate, with cleansing acid and dancing bubbles letting the flavours linger. This very versatile food wine teams well with anything from venison medallions in a sticky red wine reduction to gnocchi with a strong cheese.
Geoff Hardy has produced this refreshingly impressive sparkling Red from premium vineyards in McLaren Vale and the Limestone Coast. Both vineyards were developed under Geoff’s viticultural expertise and are producing quality fruit that expresses the mesoclimates of these regions. Geoff’s vineyards are carefully managed to balance natural surroundings, with a synergy of traditional methods and modern technology.
