Tscharke Wines The Master Montepulciano 2021 (12 Bottles) Marananga, South Australia

by Vinsight

$299.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is a Montepulciano with spades of fruit and spice, which is classical for this variety. The nose is filled with an abundance of berries with cherry and cranberry at the forefront.

The palate continues this fruit drive for a moment before the tannin and spice take over with cedar, cinnamon and other woody spices coming through. The finish is bright with just a touch of grippy tannin.

About Tscharke Wines

The story of Tscharke is one of continued evolution, and today our brand is a beacon of contemporary Barossa winemaking and the highest standards of viticultural excellence.

The land that is today referred to as the Barossa has been owned by, and cared for, by the Peramangk, Ngadjuri and Kaurna nations since the beginning of time. The most sustainable and enduring culture on Earth was practiced here for thousands of generations, in perfect harmony with the environment. Our family, and our business, pay our sincere respects to the traditional owners of the land we farm today and we recognise that the traditional owners of this land have a continuing cultural connection here. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty.

As genuinely sustainable farmers, we seek to act as custodians rather than owners, never taking for granted the opportunity and responsibility to care for this remarkable land. One of our great gifts is the geography of Marananga, where the elevation of the Western Ridge of the Barossa and the ancient soils combine to create a truly exceptional micro-climate. Six generations of our family have lived and worked here, and the seventh generation are currently growing up among the vines.

After completing his Bachelor of Agriculture Science in Viticulture/Oenology with honours in 2000, Damien began to develop his family vineyards to old European grape varietals new to Australian viticulture, believing these varieties would thrive in the terroir and microclimate of Marananga, with the area’s prehistoric soils and Mediterranean climate.

Tscharke Wines was founded in 2004, heralding a new tradition in Australian winemaking with contemporary wines based on alternative varietals.

Damien was the first producer of Montepulciano in Australia and was awarded the prestigious 2004 Peter Olson Fellowship for Innovation and Outstanding Performance in Agriculture for his work with alternative varietals. We have continued to expand the boundaries of contemporary winemaking in Australia since the earliest days of Tscharke Wines.

This culture of innovation and the pursuit of excellence has guided Tscharke since our earliest days.
