Hudson Vineyards Phoenix Red Blend 2019

Hudson Vineyards Phoenix Red Blend 2019

Phoenix is a classic representation of the Hudson Estate. The wine was named after the 2017 wildfires swept through the estate, miraculously avoiding the original buildings from the 1980s. 

Grape Varietals & Region: 64% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc. Pheonix is a barrel selection Bordeaux-style blend sourced from multiple vineyard sites on the Hudson ranch.

Taste Profile: This wine showcases enticing aromas of red currant, black cherry, and savoury spice that leads to a plush mouthfeel an structured finish. The Merlot-dominated Pheonix offers a great nose of ripe black cherries, tobacco, chocolate, and damp earth, and it’s medium to full-bodied, ripe, and incredibly polished on the palate

Red The fruit was picked separately by hand at night, hand-sorted, destemmed. Each lot fermented individually untilising native yeast. Barreled in 60% new oak, it was bottled unfiltered & unfined after 23 months of aging.
