Cascabel Tempranillo
2009
RRP -
$25.95
Bottle - $21.95
Case of
6
- $131.70

A great nose, with black cherry, earth, sweet raspberries and sweet fruit. The palate has quite a zing to it, red cherries and sasparella, licorice, sweet and fresh, finishing with some barky spices, pleasantly fruited. Savoury and still with lots of fruit, just the type of wine to go with tapas.
Wine Making : This wine is made using a combination of young and old Tempranillo vines. The grapes are picked slightly early, with the intention of retaining fresher flavours and acid, while avoiding harsh tannin. The wine is matured in French oak puncheons (500 L barrels), for 3 months.

96 points - James Halliday Wine Companion
The wine was matured in 100% new French barriques for twelve months providing structure, while complimenting the grape tannin and the terroir-based flavour profile of black, glazed cherries, dark chocolate, mocha and even orange peel that manifests itself each year in this single vineyard wine. This demonstrates the remarkable nature of the vineyard and is why we are proud to produce a wine of such iconic distinction. 2007 Old Garden Mourvèdre is perfectly poised and quite possibly the finest of the decade. It will age beautifully for at least ten years.
Let's not mince words. This is one of Australia's greatest red wines. From an ancient block of mourvédre vines planted in the 1850s (a century-and-a-half ago!) and from a particularly low-yielding drought year, the nobility of the wine comes shining through. There is amazing concentration and length, but it's not a huge blockbuster: cinnamon oak and dried herbs and a little blackcurrant lead onto a lithe, spicy mouthful of earthy red wine, finishing with fantastically fine tannins.
