Tasting Notes

Vinification
All the components of this wine were fermented separately and blended together prior to bottling. The wine was matured in old puncheons with no new oak.

Palate
The palate is crunchy and vibrant with lovely structure and tannins.

Aroma
Aromas of sour cherry, cranberry and strawberries.
Winemakers comments
Up until as late as the 1980‚s Australian red wines were often named as Clarets or Burgundies broadly based on their style and the varieties they were made from. Whilst the nomenclature was incorrect the concept of blending varieties to craft a particular style of wine was brilliant and celebrated. With both the Gundagai medium dry red and the Gundagai light dry red I pay homage to our rich Australian winemaking history and these unique styles of wine. The Gundagai light dry red is a blend of Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Shiraz.

Range notes
Inspired by the Australian ‚Burgundies‚ of the 50‚Äôs 60‚Äôs and 70‚s. The Light Dry Red pays homage to the Classic light bodied Shiraz and Shiraz/ Pinot blends mastered by Maurice O‚Shea.
