Tasting Note: Lifted aromas of berry fruits, dark cherry, five spice and deep cacao chocolate combine seamlessly with a sweet fruit palate that showcases all the elements present on the nose. The bright fruit acidity drives freshness on the palate where the fine 'old vine' tannins gently resolve with a subtle savoury earthiness and complexity.
Food Matching: Versatile and exuberant, the Joshua pairs well with charcuterie and carpaccio dishes whilst it also sits well with asian inspired spice dishes.
Vineyard: Sourced from a network of vineyards located throughout the Barossa Valley, from vines up to 100 years, grown on a range of soil types. The younger blocks are planted utilising modern trellis systems, while the oldest Grenache and Mataro vineyards are dry grown bush vines.
Vinification: A blend of Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre) and Shiraz. All components are fermented in open fermenters, where the presence of whole berries is encouraged. Pumped over twice daily, flavours colours and tannins are gently extracted from the grapes until pressing off skins after 7 days. All batches are retained separately and matured in seasoned hogsheads for 18 months prior to careful blending and bottling.
