Ruby red with purple hints. A complex nose of dark forest fruits, charred toast and game meat with intriguing hints of chocolate mint & clove spice.
The Sixties Block 2019 Tasting NoteFruit was harvested in March and April and fermented on skins for 10 days. The wine then spent 12 months in one, two and three year old French and American oak prior to bottling.
The Sixties Block is a unique wine that’s both approachable in its youth and rewards cellaring. Enjoy with pork and fennel sausages in a tomato based sauce. Cellar for seven to ten years.
