winemaker's notes
We segment every vineyard into sub-groups of grapes that have consistent qualities that we call 'parcels'. These parcels are kept separate in the winery and treated on their own merit, to be assessed for blending with other parcels of wine prior to bottling.
In the instance of the Sidetrack blend, we look to over-deliver in the aroma, flavour and texture of the wine. The Grenache provides some lifted floral aromatics and sweet fruit characters, while the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon ensure intensity of flavours and a long palate length.
