The palate is complex and characterful and deliciously juicy with flavours of aniseed, tomato leaves and fresh dark berries. The very fresh finish balances the big tannins. Serve slightly chilled if preferred and drink within 5 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eSource of Grapes:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGrapes for our 2013 Tinta Barocca were sourced from a single parcel of gnarly 36 year old dry farmed bush vines grown in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg mountain. We lease the parcel on a long term basis, and have close and direct involvement in their viticultural management.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tDate(s) Harvested:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tGrapes were harvested on 8th February 2013\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWinemaking:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThis wine is made in a very traditional Portuguese style. Hand picked grapes are cooled in our cold room, where after the bunches are destemmed into half-ton fruit bins, and foot stomped for a couple of hours until the pulp and skins are completely broken down, and the grape pips float to the top. We then leave the bins to macerate for 3 to 4 days and in that time all the required color and tannin are released. After 3 or 4 days, at the first sign of fermentation, we press the must directly to barrel for fermentation and maturation. The barrels are racked in Spring to blend the wine, which is then returned to barrel and bottled unfiltered and unfined after 11 months in barrel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mullineux Family Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948811087919,"sku":"SA0EE242027TOL","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/mullineux-tinta-barocca-2013","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
