Apostrophe Possesive Reds’ Blend 2022 6x75cl

The Apostrophe wines are stylistic blends made from our Great Southern vineyards. Our field trials with new varieties have led us to these blends, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Textural and delicious, they’re without oak character – the white having no oak whilst the reds spend a short time in old and large format barrels. Aromas of rose petals, musk and plum. The medium-bodied palate presents vibrant berry flavours and fine tannins with a cleansing acidity.

Vineyards

The grapes are harvested from north-facing vineyards with granite soil in Margaret River. There are 1650 vines per hectare.

Vintage

A succession of very good seasons for Frankland River; 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and now 2022. Shiraz and Cabernet performed exceptionally with very good flavour, acidity and freshness, however there are not many varieties that did not perform at their peak this harvest. A mild wet winter followed by dry and warm conditions leading up to harvest resulted with a season which had a long but gentle finish. Fruit harvested was in near perfect condition and will result in some very long-lived wines.

Winemaking

The fruit was hand-picked and sorted. Fermentation was carried out in small lot fermenters. Moderate extraction was aimed for, thus ensuring vineyard characters were fully expressed. The wine was then aged in new and one-year-old oak for 6-8 months.
