There are lashings of vanillin oak at this early stage, but integration is well underway. Big black fruit notes, chocolate, licorice and coffee beans. Mocha and cassis too with soft, satiny tannins.

Produced on the famed terra rossa soils, arguably Australia’s greatest, in the warm Wrattonbully region, it gets its name from the remains of a 37-million-year-old whale that were found here. Made from old, low-yielding vines, the quantity of fruit produced here is tiny, but the quality is exceptional. Once picked the grapes were destemmed – no extra tannins were required – gently crushed and cold soaked for two days before being fermented separately. During the 11-day fermentation, the skins were hand-plunged to ensure maximum extraction. Once blended the wine was placed into 225-litre French oak casks, half of which were new, for 17 months. The result is a dramatic wine, one that’s full of power, concentration, nuance, and intricacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVivino Rating: 4.2 (Sept 2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93 points \/ Silver Medal - Decanter World Wine Awards (2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Complex and aromatic, showing savoury herbs,, violets and cedar, with bottle-age imbuing the fruit with a candied character.

He chose a hillside site at Carraovejas, in Peñafiel in the then largely unknown Ribera del Duero. The site was a real find. With soils comprising of alternating layers of sandy silt and clay, with limestone, marl, and chalk, it was free-draining, mineral poor and at 850m above sea level, cool and able to offer the vines a long growing season. They were the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in the region and they now have plantings of Merlot too. In support of their belief in sustainable winemaking, vines are farmed organically and much of the vineyard work is done by hand. They now produce three wines: the Pago de Carraovejas, El Anejón and Cuesta de las Liebres. All are classics, but the Cuesta de Las Liebres is one of Ribera del Duero’s superstar wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enotria \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55177743073667,"sku":"ENC17020","price":124.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/PagodeCarraovejasElAnejon.png?v=1728034337"},{"product_id":"lortum-riche-vineyards-proprietary-red-blend-2022","title":"Lortum Riche Vineyards Proprietary Red Blend 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLortum Riche Vineyards Proprietary Red Blend 2022 is the embodiment of Paso Robles richness and Napa-style sophistication, seamlessly uniting lush dark fruit, spice, plush texture, and polished structure.
