The Angove Family's Family Crest red wines are simply the essence of McLaren Vale winemaking. Classic and alternate varieties and blends that suit McLaren Vale’s Mediterranean climate and lifestyle. These are some of our favourite wines to make

Tasting Notes:

Bright ruby red with magenta hues.

Aromatic cherry, plums, and spice, supported by star anise and cloves.

Dark fruits follow on the palate with a soft, mouth-filling and rounded finish.

Winemaking:

Handpicked, hand sorted and carefully destemmed, leaving predominantly whole berries.

Fermentation in 70-year-old concrete open fermenters the must pumped over, two to four times daily.

Gently pressed in a small pneumatic press. Malolactic fermentation proceeded in seasoned French oak puncheons, preserving maximum fruit flavour and concentration at the same time as subtle oak characters.

Matured in barrel for 10 months prior to bottling.
