PRODUCER
Willunga 100 is in McLaren Vale, south of Adelaide. The grapes come from a range of selected vineyards, including some over 50 years old. Winemaker Stephen Pannell uses modern equipment alongside traditional winemaking techniques, including open-top fermenters, to ferment the small parcels of fruit arriving at the winery. Willunga 100 aims to produce unique and distinctive wines which capture the essence of the region.
VINEYARDS
Sandy soils provide lifted aromatics, and darker soils including ‘Terra Rossa‘ types contribute to rich, bold tannins. All the vineyards are managed to produce the highest quality possible with only the best parcels selected for Willunga 100. McLaren Vale has a warm Mediterranean climate with a strong cooling influence from the Gulf of St Vincent.
TASTING NOTE
Full bright red with purple hue. Intense, dark red fruit and well integrated cedar and toasty oak. A more intense vintage than the 2005, with darker fruit character and a more weighty structure.
