Brampton OVR 2011

Name: Brampton OVR 2011
Brand: Brampton
SKU: 34851

Attractive dark fruit and spice with hints of bell peppers on the nose, all leading to a succulent fleshy fruit core from the Shiraz supported by focused fine tannins and blackcurrant intensity from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Great depth and dimension with a rampant range of flavours including red currants and mulberry fruit to aniseed and clove spice.

Enjoy this wine socially or with steaks, BBQs and grills or mature blue veined cheese.

about the harvest: Harvested: Hand-picked in mid February to end of March 2010

in the cellar : Small batches of hand-picked grapes from different varietals were chosen and specifically blended for balance and complexity. Primary fermentation took place on the skins for 2 to 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks. 70% then underwent maturation in French and American oak barrels for 15 months to ensure complete integration of wood with the intrinsic fruit character. The remaining 30% component of the blend was left unwooded for added vibrancy.

Production: 18 500 cases (6 x 750ml)
