Darling Cellars' Old Bush Vine range comes from specific old bush vines which are selected for their typicity in reflecting their soils and location. The grapes were selected from un-irrigated bush vines, then destalked and crushed into small open fermenters and cold soaked for two days before 14 days’ fermentation at 20-24°C. The best free run wine was matured in American and French oak (2nd and 3rd-fill) for 22 months before the best barrels were selected for the final blend.
An irresistible, well balanced red wine, with a bright ruby red colour and sour cherries, red cherries and candy floss on the nose. The fruity palate is delicious with earthiness and flavours of white pepper followed by a fresh acidity on the pallet. Grape tannins very well supported by the oak tannins. The wine finishes with a long aftertaste.
