It’s a structured yet vibrant wine, brimming with dark berry fruits, violets, and floral lift, layered with pepper, clove, and a gentle herbal warmth. The palate finishes long and silky with beautifully integrated tannins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe technical stuff\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were harvested in the cool of the early morning in mid-April 2024 to achieve full flavour ripeness while retaining natural acidity and freshness. Fruit was fully destemmed and transferred to open fermenters, where fermentation commenced using a neutral yeast strain at approx. 24–26°C. Gentle pump overs and hand plunging twice daily continued for around three weeks to extract colour, aroma, and fine tannins. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing primary fermentation, the wine completed natural malolactic fermentation over six weeks, building softness and integration. It was then matured for 12 months in French oak hogsheads, with 10% new oak to add  texture, complexity, and fine tannin support while preserving fruit purity. The wine was lightly filtered and bottled in October 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Orbis Wines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrbis Wines is an award-winning estate vineyard and winery located in McLaren Vale.
