NOTES
Aramis Vineyards- Multi-Award Winning Wine, 100% McLaren Vale, Family owned & Estate Grown Aramis Vineyards wine is synonymous with premium wines from South Australia’s McLaren Vale wine region being awarded over 80 medals in International and Australian Wine shows in recent years.
Our vineyards in McLaren Vale are planted on their own rootstock in some of the world’s oldest mineral rich soils and in the most temperate of Mediterranean climates. Only the best parcels of fruit are carefully selected throughout the vineyard and utilized in the Aramis Vineyards label. Great attention to detail with the integration of fruit flavours and fine oak barrels helps produce classic handcrafted wine styles. Lee Flourentzou, the General Manager of Aramis Vineyards, has pursued his passion to produce rich and intensely flavoured red wines. He purchased a 70 acre plot of land, 7 km outside of the township of McLaren Vale back in 1998. He now has 64 acres planted, the majority of which is dedicated Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vines.
TASTING NOTES
Deep purple colour. The nose shows intense, complex cedary, fig, blackberry and blueberry with occasional pepper/spice too. A powerful full-bodied berry fruit flavour, with a little sweet English toffee-like oak evident on the juicy, rolling finish. Restrained tannin and acidity coupled with rich alcohol, produce a seamless, peppery, velvety rolling length.
REVIEWS
Opaque violet color. Deep, smoky aromas of cassis, blueberry, Indian spices and incense, with a slow-building pepperiness. Lush, creamy red and dark berry flavors are strikingly fresh, with a lively mineral spine adding vivacity. Very deep but improbably lithe, with strong finishing sweetness, clarity and juicy persistence. This is quite seductive right now but is balanced to reward at least another five years of patience. 93pts

Slightly more developed colour; does have more movement in the mouth than the varietal and correspondingly more length, but in the final analysis the price gap is greater than the quality gap. Cork. 15% alc. Drink 2016 Rating 94, James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2008
