Description

Orin Swift Cellars Abstract 2021

A summary of something larger. Orin Swift Cellars Abstract is decidedly archetypal of many things to come on a journey with Orin Swift.

Aromatics with gravity, the wine pulls you in with notes of blueberry, black fig, bloodied strawberry and hints of musk and rhubarb. Bold on the entry, the palate exudes rich notes of dark plum and ripe raspberries with a slightly chalky texture. The wine transitions effortlessly to a finish of black cherry, sweet liquorice and some quick drying tannins

A blend of Grenache, Petite Sirah and Syrah. The wine was aged for 8 months in a combination of 43% American and 57% French oak, of which 27% was new

Top Tip: Decant an hour before serving.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
