Background
Australian Earthworks has a fierce commitment to quality as well as to preserving the heritage of the Barossa. The wines are produced from grapes harvested in the vineyards of trusted Barossa growers. As Australia is one of the oldest continents, Earthworks grapes are grown on soils up to 600 million years old, which are free draining, mineral rich and in one of the cleanest climates on the planet. Traditional winemaking and minimal processing are employed to ensure the purity, integrity, texture and flavour of the vines. In the words of winemaker, Tyson Bitter, “This is the essence of making a top wine and having fun doing it!” The Earthworks wines are deliberately bottled under a screw cap seal to ensure the quality always remains untainted.
Tasting Notes
Vibrant ruby red with crimson hues. A compote of dark berry and satsuma plum aromas supported with mocha, vanilla, and black pepper accents, along with hints of boysenberry and strawberry, all converge to allow your senses to take you on a journey. A voluptuous palate with a flourish of fresh fruit. The aromas are mirrored on the palate that also has dark chocolate undertones and silky tannins in the background.
