2017 Seven Slpeepers Red Blend

WINE DETAILS VINEYARDS

All the fruit for Seven Sleepers ‘The Blend’ was sourced from the Barossa. The vines received minimal irrigation and were pruned for low yields to provide vine balance, optimum fruit quality, and intense varietal character.

VARIETY  Cabernet Sauvignon 41% | Shiraz 27% | Petit Verdot 27% | Malbec 5%

GROWING SEASON

A long, wet winter was followed by a cool spring and early summer. Post-veraison weather was moderate, with short bursts of heat and well-timed rain. An Indian summer allowed consistent ripening, with cool late-March nights extending vintage. 2017 reds are well-structured, bright and aromatic, with good colour and natural acidity.

WINE ANALYSIS Alc/Vol: 14.0% | Acidity: 6.2 g/L | pH: 3.58 PEAK DRINKING The rich combination of sweet, mouthfilling flavours is ideally suited to current consumption, however the wine will also reward careful short-term cellaring.
