TASTING NOTES

The 2022 RP2 is quite simply a delicious wine. One of the hallmarks of all 2022 red wines is impressive colour intensity, an this wine is no exception. It has a brilliant deep red, purple hue. The progression of these Rhone red varieties, grown in our vineyard for 15 years now has been extremely pleasing.

The winemaking process involves destemming the grapes, leaving 100% whole berries. Shiraz undergoes a mix of 30% whole bunches and 70% destemmed whole berries. The ageing process varies by grape variety: Grenache is aged in large format oak (1600L), Shiraz in 2-4 year old barriques, and Mourvèdre and Cinsault in older barriques. No fining is performed.

renache 55%, Shiraz 30%, Cinsault 10%, Mataro 5%. A Rhone blend with Mount Mary sensibility. This is fresh, spicy, red fruits with an exotic musky and rosy perfume. Medium-bodied, rosehip, redcurrant and raspberry, a fine crunch to it, juicy but controlled, with a lick of kitten’s tongue tannin, almond, biscuit spice, dried herbs and orange zest, and a clean finish of excellent length. It’s a Pinot Noir drinkers Rhone blend, for sure, and it’s such a delightful wine. I’d say it’s likely the best release to date.

“The grenache spends 16 months in 1600L seasoned foudre, the rest matured in barriques (15% new for the shiraz). A light, bright crimson. Perfumed with ripe raspberries, kirsch, incense and garrigue. Red fruited and gently fleshy on the palate before closing with silky tannins on the smooth, satisfying finish”.
