Solstice 2005

Background

Solstice is a blend of our best Merlot, Zweigelt and Lemberger grapes.  We chose this blend to highlight the red grape varieties with a lot of potential in our growing conditions.  The Merlot contributes softness to the blend, the Zweigelt adds berry aromatics and the Lemberger, also known as Blaufränkisch, provides the structure and spice.  The blend is aged in French oak puncheons for 18 months. 

Tasting Notes

Complex aromas of raspberry, cherry and cassis with spicy clove and black pepper nuances.  On the palate it is full-bodied with generous mouthfeel and well integrated tannins. 

Food Pairing

This wine is crafted with strongly flavoured dishes in mind.  Pair it with steak, roast beef, rack of lamb and grilled wild mushrooms.
