Hedonist Wines
McLaren Vale
COLOUR Deep ruby red
BOUQUET Blackcurrant, a touch of tomato vine and a tantalising hint of black truffle.
PALATE An abundance of blackcurrant carries through to the palate, some earthy tones and tight tannins wrap this little package up nicely.
Viticulture
The fruit for the Hedonist Cabernet is grown biodynamically on our own vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. Warm Summer days are cooled by evening sea breezes from St Vincent’s Gulf, which lies a close proximity to the West. The soil is rich loam over clay with patches of underlying limestone, giving the wine a rich and fullness of pallet.
Vinification
Harvested in two batches on the 24th February, the parcels were fermented separately – for 8 days and 14 days respectively. Once malolactic fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks, the batches were racked into 20% new French Oak; 40% seasoned French Oak, 40% seasoned American Oak for 18 months for maturation.
Recommendation
Crumbed lamb cutlets with garlic and rosemary
