Rising Bad Earth Dry Red 750ml

A red blend from Nillumbik's Bad Earth. It's light, it's dry... it's red? It's good. Pretty simple really. This Bad Earth Red is kinda smouldering. There’s an underlying savouriness - smoky paprika, green peppercorn and woody herbs, but there’s a wild, brambly sweetness too - blackberry, raspberry and sour cherry... maybe even a little iced vo-vo action thrown in. It’s super pure, fresh with a twangy, almost Campari- like sweet /bitterness on the palate. The silky, whole bunch-iness and lovely linear acidity keeps it light on its feet. Touche. Pinot Noir and Shiraz were picked and vinified separately. Both parcels were hand-picked and fermented as 100% whole bunches for 10 days. Pressed off and matured in old oak for 8 months prior to blending. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
