De Bortoli Down The Lane Shiraz Tempranillo 2019 (Australia)
- Blackberry
- White pepper
- Dark chocolate
- Savoury tannins
Notes of red fruits, white pepper and nutmeg from the Shiraz and savoury tannins from the Tempranillo are enjoyable in this blend. Plenty of blackberry and raspberry are present while dark chocolate is rounding the mouth.
Sourced from various vineyards in the Hilltops and Northern Heathcote regions.
A dry winter followed by an early spring with good rainfall in Heathcote, were followed by a hot and dry January and February. The vintage experienced an extended hot spell during late February and March which accelerated ripening. The Hilltops region also experienced a dry winter with warm weather, leading up to harvest which resulted in a low yielding year.
The Shiraz was harvested mid March, whilst the Tempranillo fruit was picked a few weeks later, after each variety reached fruit ripeness and an balanced structure. Each variety was fermented separately on skins for 7-10 days to allow the full extraction of flavour, colour and tannin. Then the wine was blended to achieve an harmonious blend of the two varieties.
