Elephant in the Room Titanic Limestone Coast Tempranillo 2024 (Australia)

Oak, Spice, Wood

Deep purple in color, this wine features aromatic notes of red berry and hints of cola, framed by violet and appealing cedarwood spice. The palate is vibrant, with flavors of plum and blueberry, complemented by subtle oak and fine tannins.

The Elephant in the Room wines are proudly large in scale and expansive in flavour. Ignoring fashion and braving the scorn “wine thought police” Elephant in the Room was created to give consumers exactly what they want – full bodied and mouth-filling wines that deliver maximum pleasure. Each wine is sourced from slow-ripening cool climate vineyards in the Limestone Coast of South Australia and partially matured in French Oak before final blending and bottling by Corey Ryan.

South Australian regions experienced a very dry growing season for the 2024 vintage. Frost, the lack of rain and poor weather during flowering has resulted in lower yields, however, the dry and consistent weather during picking resulted in a vintage of high-quality fruit.

Partially hand harvested before de-stemming primarily in closed fermenters with pump overs with a portion of open fermenters. All components blended post fermentation before two thirds were matured in stainless steel and one third was matured in French oak for nine months months before bottling with minimal fining, filtration and sulphur addition.

Food Pairing: This generous wine is packed with flavor and ready to drink now, with the potential to cellar for up to 5 years.
