Cascabel Tempranillo Graciano Mc Laren Vale Region South Australia 750x 6

Cascabel Tempranillo Graciano is made with grapes from our oldest Tempranillo and Graciano vines. Both varieties are very well regarded in Spain and we grow them here with a strong emphasis on flavour, elegance and austerity. These deeply coloured, thick skinned varieties make a delicious and well structured wine that can age very well. Tempranillo provides lots of fruit richness and moderate acidity, while Graciano brings the spice and vibrant tannins. Cascabel Tempranillo Graciano colour is deep, dark ruby. Cascabel Tempranillo Graciano nose has ripe blueberry aromas with hints of earth and a deft touch of wood. Cascabel Tempranillo Graciano palate has a velvety blue and black fruit introducing rich, full and suave tannins and fine length. All the grapes were hand picked; Tempranillo (14.5º Bè) in early March and Graciano (13.5º Bè) in mid April. The two varieties were fermented separately, in 1.5 ton stainless steel open fermenters, with some whole bunches and regular hand plunging. Ferments were allowed to reach reasonably high temperatures, up to 30º C. Maceration on skins proceeded for 4 weeks after fermentation. This may sacrifice fruitiness in order to gain better palate structure. Post ferment the wines were pressed straight into French oak 500 L puncheons, 60% new, with the remaining 2 and 3 year old. Malolactic fermentation occurred without additions. The wine was removed from barrel after 18 months, blended and allowed to settle in tank naturally. Bottling was carried out in October, by gravity filling, sealed with screw caps and labelled, using only our own equipment. By our participation in every phase of the process, from grape to final bottle, we maintain full control over the individuality and quality of every bottle of wine. Alcohol 14.5%
