"Humis Vineyard (Corop, VIC) Carmenere - Two thirds direct pressed over one third whole berry, fermented in stainless till dry, elevage in old oak for 10 months.

Dark, rich crimson. Just like Moscato Giallo you can tell this is Carmenere from the first smell. Savoury green peppers & rich dark fruits up front integrates seamlessly into the silkiness of the mouthfeel & tanins. Slight sourness but rich at the same time with bright acidity and length. Cabernet Franc & Trousseau are the parent grapes of Carmenere and i can see both those grapes in this wine."
