Welbedacht Hat Trick 2007

A classy combination of old world charm and new world exuberance, the nose is opulent with aromas of cherry, raspberry, lavender and violet. The pallet is concentrated with a mineral core and polished tannins, showing succulent flavours of cassis, citrus infused dark chocolate, cinnamon and liquorice.

The grapes were then gently destemmed and crushed. Fermentation temperatures were moderate to promote elegance and temper harsh tannin extraction. Once pressed, the wine was racked to barrel, where it under went malo-lactic fermentation. Only second, third and fourth-fill barrels were used to enhance the wine’s natural finesse.

After 18 months in oak the wine was blended and given a light albumen (egg white) fining to round-off any unwanted tannins. Before bottling the wine was delicately filtered.
