Small batch ferment in 2 and 4 tonne fermenters over a 12 day period using natural yeast. Hand plunged during primary fermentation. The wine was then left on skins for 15 days to enhance tannin complexity and maximise flavour and length. Pressed to tank then racked to wood after 4 days, using 25% new French oak and 75% in 1 to 4 year old oak for a total of 2 years.
Deep garnet; a pleasing and fragrant bouquet revealing mulberry, clove, damsel plums and licorice; the palate is unctuously textured on entry, with zesty acidity and a lingering toasty note from the well-handled oak. Rating 93 - Drink by 2018 - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion (FEB/2012)
Colour
Deep red with purple hues.
Aroma
Dark blackberry spice, with hints of red liquorice. The oak is all French, which is subtle and integrated.
Palate
The palate is concentrated and powerful with sweet ripe mulberries and blackberries. The fruit weight is powerful and long, with juicy tannins and balanced acidity.
Food Matching
The wine will be a good match for red meat dishes, BBQ’s and mature cheese.
Cellaring Pontential
The fruit driven style is drinking extremely well now or will evolve for a further 8 - 12 years with careful cellaring.
David O'Leary and Nick Walker both have a love of winemaking, a desire to create something exceptional and a strong affinity with the Australian wine industry.
After working for large companies for twenty years and amassing over 300 gold medals and 60 trophies(including a Jimmy Watson and twice International Red Wine Maker of the Year), David and Nick had achieved just about everything that a winemaker could.
A new challenge beckoned and David and Nick's belief in their winemaking skills and their confidence in the fruit and the vineyards available to them was the catalyst for them to establish their own venture based in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley.
As with all things in life, a window of opportunity opens only a few times and they believed it was their turn to step up, have a go and return to what winemaking is all about, making great wine from great vineyard sites.
O'Leary Walker Wines was born.
