From Eric Guido: The 2022 Mourvèdre Bailey Ranch Vineyard is spicy, with a cascade of rose petals, dried citrus rinds and ground cloves complicated by hints of flowery underbrush. This is soothingly round with a balanced inner sweetness, casting juicy red berry fruits across a stream of brisk acidity, as hints of blood orange embellish the close. This tapers off with outstanding length, mixing sour cherries with blackberries and sweet spice, all over a bed of gently grippy tannins. It’s rare to find a varietal Mourvèdre with this level of energy and balance. Beautifully done.
Vineyard: SOURCED FROM BAILEY RANCH VINEYARD, PLANTED IN 2019 AND LOCATED IN THE ADELAIDA DISTRICT. THE VINEYARD IS CERTIFIED ORGANIC, REFLECTING A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE FARMING PRACTICES. THE 2022 VINTAGE IS ONLY THE SECOND RELEASE FROM THE YOUNG BUT VERY PROMISING VINES.
wINEMAKING: PRIMARY FERMENTATION TOOK PLACES IN STAINLESS STEEL TANKS, FOLLOWED BY 18 MONTHS OF AGING IN NEUTRAL OAK PUNCHEONS. THE APPROACH ALLOWS THE PURE VAREITAL EXPRESSION OF MOURVEDRE TO SHINE, HIGHLIGHTING IT NATURAL COMPLEXITY AND STUCTURE.
FARMING: DRY-FARMED, HEAD-TRAINED AND CERTIFIED ORGANIC
