Tallavera Wines Rogue Series Foot Stomped Sagrantino 2013

The Hunter Valley is renowned for Semillon and Shiraz but who would have thought that Sagrantino would make an appearance in the area.

This wine comes from the Davis Premium Vineyards selection which is Tallavera's single vineyard series. Once the grapes were hand picked and de-stemmed back into the picking bin.

The tannin profile is monumental and makes this wine drain every last moment of moisture from my mouth. I love that but it makes it hard to drink right away. Once the wine has ben open for a while the savoury nature takes hold with dried cherries, rusted nails, dried earth and cracked pepper. The flavours are perched on a light bodied frame with a huge amount of length. Stash away for a few years or drink with a rustic meal.
