Summary: Bleeding Heart Wine was born from a shared passion in the wines and vineyards of South Australia. The ancient soils and moderate climate create rich and full bodied wines that are incredibly satisfying. Few that experience the food and wine or the beautiful landscape could argue that it is not better a bleeding heart than none at all.

Vineyards: Sourced from established vineyards in the Adelaide Hills and the Lower Murray. The sheltered aspect and cold Autumn nights of the Adelaide Hills combine to ensure excellent aromatics and the retention of natural acidity in the elegant fruit harvested. Lower Murray component delivers impressive intensity of flavour and length.

Winemaking: Fruit is harvest during the early morning hours to retain freshness before a fast and precise vinification in stainless steel with minimal oxygen contact to maximise fruit expression and aromatics. A cool fermentation (15 to 18 degrees) is undertaken in stainless steel tanks before maturation on lees for four months to build depth and texture with malolactic fermentation prevented.

Vintage 2019: 2019 was challenging and hot in the South of Australia. The season started at a cracking pace with a hot and early summer that reduced yields. A dry winter was followed by a cool spring before a number of exceptionally hot days prior to vintage. Subsequently yields were down but quality remained excellent.

Tasting Note: A lifted nose of passionfruit, cut grass and lemon citrus. The palate has fruit intensity with spice and subtle herb notes. The finish is long, dry and very refreshing. A consumate all rounder this is a wine that will partner very well with garden salads, fresh fish and light creamy pastas.
