2007 Tim Adams The Fergus

The fifteenth release of ‘The Fergus’, named after Tim's neighbour who was good enough to sell Tim his grenache grapes in the vintage of 1993 during a desperate shortage of shiraz and cabernet. The wine has lifted red berry aromas and flavours, complexed by grenache spiciness and given extra back palate astringency by the blending of other red varieties. It is a mouth-filling wine that may be kept for up to 10 years, but will go nicely with duck, turkey, lamb and gamey meats any time soon.
Grenache grapes were crushed on to fermented and drained skins of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Malbec. Fermentation on skins lasted one week. The tanks were then topped and closed for two weeks prior to pressing the skins. The wines were then racked several times before filtration and transferred to old American oak. They remained in oak until blending, fining, filtration and bottling.

*** This is a 6 bottle case - to make up the minimum order of 12 bottles, you will need to add another case of wine (6s or 12s) to your order.***
