Summary: Crimson Monster creates monstrously rich and full-bodied wines sourced from low-yielding, established vineyards located in some of South Australia’s finest regions such as McLaren Vale and Coonawarra.

Thick gnarled old vines produce tiny berries of incredible intensity that is harnessed by careful winemaking and partial maturation in large seasoned oak barrels to deliver wonderfully approachable, opulent and mouth-coating flavours.

Winemaking: Sourced from two vineyards that were planted with one on black and the other on red soils of the famed Coonawarra. The wine spent lesser time on skins that usual and following a cool and uneventful primary fermentation the wine was pressed off into a combination of stainless steel and second-use French oak for maturation where it was held for a period of 10 months prior to blending and bottling.

Vintage 2022: A cool season in Coonawarra saw good yields enjoy extended ripening through mild autumn days and cool nights. This was one of the best vintages for the region and the reds were outstanding performers.

Tasting Note: Bold and rich, featuring smooth silky tannins. The palate is rich with notes of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate, supported by hints of cedar-wood and spice. A great expression of the region for 2022 and delicious drop.
