tasting notes
A range of spices including nutmeg and cardamom are featured
in this intensely colored and flavored wine. Sequel is rich in
texture and packed with vibrant blackberry and cherry flavors.
Delicious hints of roasted meats and black olive tapenade tickle
the palate. The wine finishes with a vibrant, lively finish.
winemaker's insight
Portions of the grapes were fermented via an Australian
method known as "rack and return." This technique requires
the winemaker to drain the tank twice daily and gently pour
the juice back in over the top of the skins. This gentle method
helps extract richness from the Syrah's delicate berries without
imparting bitter tannins. Whole-cluster fermentation enhanced
richness and dimension on the palate. Some lots underwent
submerged cap fermentation to add structure and enhance
mouthfeel.
