A celebration of the INTENSITY of Shiraz and the LAYERED STRUCTURE of Cabernet Sauvignon. Great depth of fruit is complemented by the judicious use of fine-grained oak. The backbone (68%) of the blend came from the blue-chip Ehrat vineyard on Krondorf Road, where dry-grown Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grow side-by-side. The remainder of the blend is Shiraz from Northern Eden Valley and two Shiraz vinyards from Light Pass and Stockwell.

The resulting blend is textured and multidimensional. Structured Krondorf Shiraz contributes rich plum and strawberry red fruits while the Cabernet offers inky black berry fruit and cassis.

Deep red in colour, the wine displays ripe satsuma plum and blackcurrant, a little chocolate and a hint of cedary French oak.

The palate is quite rich but retains a degree of elegance with its balanced acidity. It also has a good depth of juicy, fleshy dark berry fruit.

A really attractive Clare red blend which will repay medium term cellaring.

Deep red colour as is the norm with the wines from the Gaelic Cemetery Vineyard. This wine possesses intense blackcurrant / redcurrant and mulberry-like aromas along with some subtle cedary notes.

The palate is warm, firm and structured, but retains the elegance that we expect to see in Cabernet based wines from Clare.

It will take several years in the cellar to reveal its undoubted potential. Very good cellaring proposition. Try with grilled lamb backstraps.

This Heirloom Vineyards Cabernet was produced from a remarkable Coonawarra Cabernet Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge but old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, sorted bunch-by-bunch, naturally open fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.

The colour is remarkably vibrant, a bright crimson purple that reflects the 2 years in oak. A core darkness indicates the wine's ripeness and concentration.

It has a classic lift of essential Cabernet fruit aromas, a perfume of dark mulberries with a lift of white mulberries, tayberries and bramble-berries that have been baked with a fresh pie crust. A great heady aroma with rich red ripe fruits but also some hints of crushed violets and whiffs of mushrooms, olives, dried herbs and suggestions of briar and undergrowth wisping in and out. There is also a shot of old school glossy tri-coloured boiled sweets character to this most complex Coonawarra Cabernet. Two years in oak has allowed a meshing of some spice and cedar oak maturation to complex.

The palate is in a word, powerful. Also 3 dimensional. Although serious dark fruits, almost Bordeaux like on the nose, it reveals Super Tuscan type flavours on the palate. Once full-bodied and tannic, now medium bodied, supple and flavoursome. Blackcurrant is dominant but more mulberry fruit on entry, gently fleshy and with elegant and appealing tannin backbone. Good acidity too to balance the generous textural palate with flavours of plum, berry and hints of spearmint chocolate to make a second glass, and we hope a second bottle irresistible. Will age with grace over the coming decades.

An extraordinary Single Vineyard Cabernet from Coonawarra that will cellar well but is so deliciously perfect now any argument for delayed gratification is perhaps academic.

The Head Honcho was created from our 10 acre single Cabernet vineyard. This vineyard produces small bervries full of intense flavour, harvesting a tiny 1 tonne per acre. In the 2012 vintage, it had only organic additives, and no pesticides (none have been used in this vineyard for 10 years).

We aged this wine for 24 months in the finest French Oak barrels. From these, only the most complex flavours from the finest barrels were selected. This year only 3 barrels made the cut, creating only 100 cases, with only 880 bottles being released to the public.

We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

100% Coonawarra

When wine is aged in fine oak barrels, a portion of it evaporates - winemakers call this the ‘Angel’s Share’. It was on this sentiment the Koonara angel was born.

We love the people who make the journey to come and visit our cellar door; they have Wanderlust. They are the daring explorer, the lover of life with tales of adventures and experiences from their many trips.
This wine’s for you, intrepid travellers...

Winemakers comments

This wine has huge colour and decanting this wine for an hour will allow you to see the true depth of flavour, but also show you that this wine is almost unique at this price, in that it will get better over 10 years.

Tiny berries went into this wine - you can tell by the deep colour. The flavour comes from the skin, so the smaller the berry, the more colour and flavour.

No residual sugar, below organic levels of sulphur, and organically grown.

This wine will age beautifully until 2030.

 

We are very proud of our wines - we hope you enjoy them.

Appearance
Deep Ruby

Palate
The palate dances with vibrant red fruits including raspberry, cranberry and red currant. The firm tannic structure adds the perfect amount of savoury texture and the long finish is riddled with pepper spice and toasty char.

Aroma
Pronounced aromas of spiced raspberry, mulberry and blueberry with traces of fennel and tomato leaf herbaceousness woven throughout. A slight char from French oak lifts the fruit spice accentuating characters of nutmeg and clove.

Winemaking Notes
Winemaking at Morambro Creek is very traditional and labour intensive. Oak maturation takes place using 35% new French barrels. This blend was put together using select barrels from our family estate that best demonstrate the intensity of our fruit balanced by integrated oak.

Vintage Overview

Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent parcels of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and fruit-derived characters that we strive for in our wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep purple in colour. A rich elegant nose of cassis with overtones of vanilla and coffee. Lush, ripe palate dominated by black fruits, cherry and chocolate. Full bodied with savory, integrated fruit tannins and persistent finish.

Philosophy
Our limited release wine is created from the fusion of two exceptional parcels of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. This classic blend is matured in the finest oak crafting an intriguing unison that captures the essence of our vineyard and highlights its unique varietal expression. 

Winemaking Notes
Matured in new and seasoned French and American oak for 20 months prior to being selected for this blend. Individual barrels from our family estate that best demonstrate the intensity of our fruit, balanced by integrated oak were selected for the final blend, which was then bottled with minimal filtration.

Vintage Overview
2013 was a very good season with predominantly mild, dry days. Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent parcels of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and fruit-derived characters that we strive for in our wines. By all accounts it was a textbook vintage.

Tasting Notes
Deep inky purple in colour. Aromas of blackberry, mocha, mint and spices. Lush, ripe palate dominated by black fruits, cherry and chocolate. An expansive palate with black fruits and nicely balanced by oak.

Refined, elegant and super-stylish. Limited release, single vineyard and organically grown.

Tasting Notes

Classic cabernet colour – deep and dark.

Also intense is the aroma: black currant, leaf and stylish oak. Concentrated black and red berry fruits are wrapped around vibrant tannins, and supported by really smart oak integration. A hedonistic wine with a generosity of fruit that belies great depth and length. Has a big future ahead yet drinks brilliantly now with a juicy beef steak.

Keep to 15 years if you wish.

Dark inky red in colour, with a scarlet rim and brilliant finish. On the nose, you are tantalised with cassis, dark chocolate and cigar box. Complex and vibrant with notes of plush black fruits, dried herbs, rosemary and earthy tones, reminiscent of roast beef and leather. On the palate, this wine is elegance personified - fine, sandy tannin with a seamless pure mouthfeel. Pure, bright fruit and creamed honey notes with balanced acidity that glides through mid-palate fruit sweetness.

Varietal Mix
French red grape varietal blend (Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon & Petit Verdot)

The Story
Many think the marathon is the truest test of endurance, determination and selfdiscipline. The reality is, the marathon is all about self-belief and the knowledge you can do better and making dreams come true! Over 42.195Km the human body sweats, strains and screams to the mind to stop! But the mind knows better, that being, the finish line will bring unprecedented satisfaction. The same physical and mental challenges face those who dream of making great wines. Ricca Terra Farm’s vigneron, Ashley Ratcliff, has run multiply marathons, including the prestigious New York Marathon. He is also on the quest to make great wines through the blending of French grape varieties.

The strategy behind the blend
The use of superior clones of French grape varieties (which have taken over 10 years to be imported into Australia) have been planted at Ricca Terra Farms to craft this wine. EntavInra and other quality clones have provided a significant quality difference to this wine that reflects the belief, knowledge and a reality that great wines can be made if you are willing to partake in the marathon of life.

Tasting Notes  

As soon as this wine is poured into the glass the colour is black to the core, with aromas of red/black fruits especially blackcurrants with an attractive ash note, a subtle herbal lift with cedar and char. Once on the palate this wine is full of lively red fruits and blackcurrants, chocolate and ash. The finish is long and juicy balanced by firm fine tannins.

Cellaring

Drink now until 2029 with careful cellaring.

Viticulture 

This Cabernet sauvignon was sourced from our Estate vineyard in the Willunga area to the South of McLaren Vale on a block of deep red clay/loam with an even spread of quartz and slate shale. The vineyard is 40 years old and is trellised with two cordons approximately 600mm apart. This structure allows ensure an open canopy allowing light ingress and air movement resulting in even ripening and low disease pressure. 

Vinification & Maturation 

Fermentation was even and on average lasted roughly 9 days with a maximum temperature of 28oC. Total time on skins was 16 days. Upon pressing, the free run and pressings were blended to tank. After 24 hours, the wine was racked to 2-4 year old French barriques for 12 months, during which malolactic fermentation occurred and the wines were racked twice. Prior to bottling the batches were blended and lightly fined, but not filtered.
