Description
"Marzemino is native of Trentino in Northern Italy and is genetically a cousin of Syrah. It has large bunches and ripens very late. It was Amadeus Mozart’s favourite so that gives it quite a nod! This late ripening variety was hand picked towards the end of the season and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The excellent natural acidity in the fruit created a foundation for a smooth fermentation with minimal intervention. Once pressed off skins, we transferred the wine to barrel for maturation for one year with 10% new oak to create structure and definition. The aroma and flavour profile show bright cherry, plum and crunchy red fruit characters. The acid is well balanced and the palate is soft with smooth underlying tannins. It is a great wine to share with friends on a summer’s afternoon with antipasti and lighter meals." - Winemaker Notes
