Vineyard 28 Dolcetto 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Dolcetto from Geographe, Australia. Dolcetto is a black Italian grape variety widely grown in the Piedmonte Region, Italy. The grape is widely known for its low levels of acidity and tendency to be ready for an early harvest compared with its other Piedmontese counterparts – Barbera and Nebbiolo.

Taste Profile: Deep raspberry in hue with a palate of black cherries and liquorice, a dry and scrumptious red wine, with mouth filling savoury tannins

Winemaking Process: The fruit was crushed and destemmed, then transferred to an open fermenter. Once the ferment was established, the skins were plunged every 6 hours. The ferment was kept under 30 degrees C till dryness was achieved. Prior to completion of the ferment the wine was inoculated with a MLF bacteria. The wine was then left a further 7 days on skins after ferment was completed.
