2005 Hawkes Bay Montepulciano (no longer available)
Tasting Note A lighter style Italian variety. Aromas of dark plums, black cherry, tobacco leaf, vanilla and woody characters. Dark fruits and hints of cherry wound around an earthy spiciness complete a smooth, medium bodied palate. An ideal accompaniment to summer BBQs Accolades ***1/2 – Winestate, 2008 << Return to 'Our Wines' Wine Detail Grape Variety - Montepulciano Region - Hawkes Bay Wine Analysis Date of Harvest - 29/04/05 Brix at Harvest - 23.0º Fermentation - Stainless Steel Maturation - 50% French Oak and 50% American Oak Malo-lactic - 50% French Oak and 50% American Oak Bottling Date - 22/08/07 Alcohol Volume - 12.9% Acidity - 6.1 g/L pH - 3.28
