Windowrie THE MILL Cabernet Merlot Cowra New South Wales Australia
Description: The Mill Cabernet Merlot is an excellent example of the harmony these varietals can exhibit when blended. The colour is deep berry red and has aromas of fruit, spice and American Oak. The palate displays soft integrated oak with concentrated fruit and soft lingering finish. Growing Season The Cabernet fruit in this wine is sourced from the oldest vines on the estate. The vines are hand pruned in winter to ensure a small crop load while allowing sunlight into the canopy. The vines are then trained during the growing season with a bunch thinning occurring. The Cabernet was picked ripe in early April . The Merlot portion is also sourced from old vines trained to a Scott Henry Trellis System. Restricted Irrigation led to yield of 2.5t acre. The fruit was harvested in mid March. Winemaking The Cabernet and Merlot portions are both made separately until final blending which took place in February . The final blend contained 86% Cabernet and 14% Merlot. Both the Cabernet and Merlot were fermented in small open fermenters following crushing with the rollers open. The ferment was seeded with Bordeaux red yeast and maintained at 25-30ºC. Following ferment the wine was transferred to 2, 3 and 4 year old French and American barriques. The wine was racked every two months before final blending and bottling. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £90.15

Errazuriz THE BLEND Aconcagua Valley Chile
Description: This fruit-driven new blend, which bursts with ripe berries and black cherries flavours backed up by well-integrated French and American oak. Well-structured and perfectly balanced wine, full on the palate with lingering but supple tannins that finishes nicely with a touch of spices. Each of the four varieties used in this blend i.e. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sangiovese and Carmenère were carefully hand picked at their peak between early April and mid-May. All varieties were vinified separately with controlled temperatures and received daily pump-overs for a total maceration time of 20-30 days. The resulting wines were aged separately, and approximately two-thirds of the final blend was oak-aged, mostly in French oak barrels. The different fine grape varieties used in crafting The Blend wine were sourced from varied parcels of our Don Maximiano Estate located in the Aconcagua Valley, where hot summer days are cooled by afternoon breezes. The core components of The Blend wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. These two varieties come from vineyards planted on a 5º slope with gravely, sandy clay soils which drain very well. Both vineyards feature drip irrigation, high-density planting and vertical trellis systems. Sangiovese and Carmenère complement the blend. Sangiovese vines were planted in 1994 with mostly R24 clone, also called Sangiovese Piccolo, which features small berries and intense berry fruit characters. The Carmenère portion of the wine comes from a different parcel of the Estate, also located in the Aconcagua Valley. Canopy management is particularly important with this late-ripening variety, since sun exposure on the berries is critical for achieving the transition from strongly vegetal aromas to the rich, ripe, complex fruit that characterizes the best Carmenère.
