Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with fragrant violets, cassis, dark cherry and warm earth, layered with savoury notes of black olive, bay leaf and dark chocolate. The palate is powerful, yet elegant and refined, with a dense core of blackberries, gravel dust and cedar spice. Firm but fine tannins provide impressive length and structure. Made in very limited quantities from hand-selected parcels, Rolling Stone captures the essence of this remarkable southern Margaret River vineyard and will reward patient cellaring for many years to come.
Vineyard
100% Hazel’s Vineyard. Our southernmost vineyard further inland than our Burnside and Calgardup vineyards. Hazel’s combines cooling Southern Ocean influences with a northerly aspect and plenty of sunshine. Certified Biodynamic.
Wine Making
Our best parcels of fruit from Hazel’s Vineyard were hand-selected and fermented in open stone fermenters using indigenous yeasts. Some parcels remained on skins post-fermentation for several weeks to enhance savouriness and structure, while others were pressed earlier to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Each variety was vinified separately and matured in a carefully selected array of premium French oak barrels for 16 months. The final blend was bottled without fining or filtration.
