| Description: |
 |
Trentham Estate was once part of a large sheep station called Trentham Cliffs'. After the Second World War the riverfront areas - bordering the Murray River - were developed into horticultural properties.
The Murphy family were pioneers who established vineyards at Merbein in 1909 and they moved to the present property in 1960 where Jack Murphy instilled his knowledge of viticulture to the family, who established Trentham Estate. The vineyard flourished in the rich red loam over limestone soils, nurtured by water from the magnificent Murray River and Trentham Estate was officially launched in 1988.
The Estate is continually striving to achieve the best possible fruit, involving use of many different varieties, with many different clones. Today, the Murphy vineyards spread over 50 hectares and have an annual crush of approximately 1,200 tonnes, however, only selected grapes are used to produce the estate's own range of wines.
Vineyard Manager and Owner Pat Murphy, has over 30 years experience in Viticulture, and this definitely shows in the Trentham award winning wines. Known for their full flavour, structure and varietal character, it certainly proves that 'Good wines are made in the Vineyard'. However the modern state of the art facilities allow the flexibility to perform different winemaking styles, resulting in the diverse and always consistent Trentham Estate wines.
The outstanding red wine grape of Italy, notably in the regions of Piedmont and Northern Lombardy, Trentham Estate vines produce a moderate crop of Nebbiolo with fruit colour ranging from very deeply coloured to lighter red.
The 2001 vintage produces Trentham's second Nebbiolo crop and it was harvested in late March with relatively low sugar levels compared with Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Immediately after harvesting the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and pumped into tanks for fermentation. Traditional fermentation techniques of pumping over to extract colour and flavour were followed before the skins were pressed and the new wine transferred to older French and American oak for maturation.
The wine exhibits a complex blend of leather, berry fruits and toasty oak, while the palate is medium weight with fine grained tannins and a long savoury finish.
