De Bortoli Sacred Hill Cabernet Merlot 2009

Sacred Hill was inspired by the name given by a local hermit to the low rocky outcrop that overlooks the Riverine plain. The hermit, who now has almost mythical status in the region, inhabited a cave in the hillside for many years. Sacred Hill has won awards at major national and international shows including Best Value awards. Leading wine writers have extolled the exceptional quality and value of this popular brand.

Viniculture - The lead up to the 2009 harvest in the Riverina was one of the best on record, with refreshing rains during spring and mild December temperatures. This lead to fruit with flavour intensity and acid structure not seen for a few years. This all changed at the end of January with an unprecedented heat wave of plus 40 degrees for 14 days which saw ripening stall for 3 weeks. Overall the vintage was good to excellent.

Vinification - Fruit was selected by the winemaker and picked when both flavour and Baumé were optimum. Warm fermentation temperatures and gentle colour tannin extraction were used to create a soft wine style.

Palate - A generous wine that shows sweet and vibrant fruit on the fleshy palate with soft mouth coating tannins.

Appearance - Vibrant purple, deep crimson.

Bouquet - Sweet fragrant aromas of blackberries with underlying mint and hints of milk chocolate oak.

General Characteristics - Dry, medium bodied.

Suggested Cuisine - This wine is excellent with beef or lamb dishes.

Cellaring - A wine made to consume now or cellar for up to 2 years.
