Colour: Ruby red with a purple hue and some ‘legs’ in the glass.

Nose: Rose, violet – and some lavender / pot pourri with raspberry notes wand a light cedary oak lift.

Palate: Supple palate, medium weight with red and blue fruits aptly combining with fresh, crisp acidity. Long flavours, almost a dark olive savoury finish.

This wine is our third release and showcases the region of McLaren Vale and its old vine legacy.

As a legacy of the once gone (almost!) fortified wine era, our region is blessed with plantings of vineyards that are now very old and in unique ‘terroirs’. Old bush vines, this wine from a single vineyard (over 100 years old), with tiny crops and berries are harvested by hand then crafted with minimal intervention to preserve the characters.

After open fermentation with a small influence of whole bunches, the wine is matured old larger format seasoned French oak puncheons (500L) until final assemblage from selected barrels. Time in barrels was around 24 months with a rest in tank to preserve freshness.

Description

About Blackbilly Wines

Blackbilly wine is produced using the famous vineyards of McLaren Vale known for wines of richness and diversity. Using modern and traditional winemaking techniques we craft wines of exceptional value and flavour for drinking and enjoyment.

An eye for value and an aim to provide generosity in sharply defined flavours sits at the core of Blackbilly wines. Since its inception in 2001, Blackbilly has produced consistent results through its discerning selection of high quality fruit while maintaining modest prices.

To get the desired results, Blackbilly sources fruit from across the Adelaide region for crisp white wines, and to Langhorne Creek, Currency Creek and the old vineyards of McLaren Vale for rich, distinctive reds.

As the label and brand name implies – honouring the hardy scrub plant called Blackbilly that skirts many vineyards areas – it tastes authentically of Australia.
