Sigurd Carignan '21

About the Wine: 

This Carignan from the Northern Barossa displays vibrant sour plum and blueberry notes, with a crunchy and fresh profile. The palate features soft tannins, a clean and juicy taste, and a refreshing, zesty finish due to its lighter alcohol content of 11.5%. The wine underwent a 25-day fermentation, with 50% whole bunch fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, resembling a carbonic fermentation process. It aged for 10 months in old French oak Hogsheads before bottling, with a small amount of sulfur added at that stage. Grown in Ebenezer, it embodies a light to medium-bodied, dry red wine style.
