Vibrant red in colour, the nose offers ripe cherry and a touch of fresh mint. The palate delivers bright red fruits, discreet vanilla and coconut flavours and supple tannins.
From the Winery
Slow ripening was encouraged by the cool nights of Eden Valley and hand crafting in the winery have brought out exceptional flavour without adding preservatives. Fermentation was conducted in two separate parcels adding complexity to the final wine.
Temple Bruer's Preservative Free wines are made in a protocol which excludes oxygen at every stage of the winemaking process. To help achieve this the wines are bottled early, using screw caps.
The wines are made in a style which accentuates their fruit flavours, with somewhat lower tannin levels than wines made with sulphur dioxide. This means that while they will keep for a few years, they are intended for early consumption and enjoyment of the upfront fruit characters.
