From 4 Low cropping vineyards (average 1t per acre). Tenafeate Creek is based in One Tree Hill, just out of greater Adelaide and sits at the edges of the North West corner of the Adelaide Hills and the South West corner of the Barossa and fits into the Mount Lofty Ranges GI. 12 months maturation in new and older French oak.
Tenafeate Creek, Basket Press, Shiraz, Mt Lofty Ranges, 2022
Garnet with a purple rim and a little glass staining. Full of warm spice, green peppercorn, blackberry, plum flesh, earthy truffle, cedary oak, vanilla bean and dark salted chocolate. Full bodied and potent. Sharp with a little kick from the alcohol and plenty of nutty, savoury-edged plum fruit. Fine, mesh tannins under a tight finish lingering with vanilla tinged oak. Will sit for a little while in the barrel.
