McGuigan Black Label Red 2021 (Australia)

Description

• French & American oak
• Red fruits
• Cedar & spice
• Black pepper

The Black Label Red is ruby red in colour with purple hues and displays upfront aromas of red fruits with hints of black pepper and cedar. This wine is a fruit driven wine with an abundance of red fruits followed by spice and toasty oak.

The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural and winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the region's strengths. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying red fermenters and fermented on oak at cooler temperatures of 18 – 22oC for 5 – 7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks.
