MATARIKI QUINTOLOGY 07

Matariki Quintology 07

$71.35 750 MLS
Deep plum red in colour, this wine displays an intense aroma of ripe dark berry fruit and plum layered with subtle spice and soft cedary oak. Skilled blending of the 5 varieties delivers a wine with elegant integration of the fruit and oak. A delicious velvety tannin approach leads through to a rich full palate and a complex lingering finish.

Individual varieties, blocks and clones were harvested separately and processed individually. The grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed into fermentation vessels, some being small open top fermenters, others stainless steel tanks.  The must was inoculated with selected yeast. The length of fermentation varied between varieties and tanks. The ferments were pumped over or plunged 3-4 times per day and the temperature peaked at 30 degrees. Some of the batches were left on skins for up to 4 weeks. Malolactic fermentation (MLF) occurred in tank and barrels. On the completion of MLF the wine was sulphured. The wine was racked and returned to barrels 2-3 times and spent over 20 months in oak.

Composition: 38% Merlot, 23% Syrah, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 8% Malbec
