Basket Range Wine - Vineyard Blend (2019)

Basket Range Wine - Vineyard Blend (2019)

A vineyard blend of equal parts Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet.

This winemaker has been quite keen on producing wines with a bit more structure and of a more “classic” nature than some of the other folks in the region. He is macerating a bit longer and barrel aging in used barrels. 

Phillip Broderick has been growing grapes at Basket Range, in the Adelaide Hills, since 1980. A small vineyard was planted focusing on mainly Bordeaux varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot.  In 2000 as a family we moved up the hill next door and planted a larger vineyard of ten acres, comprising Bordeaux varieties and Pinot Noir, later including Saperavi and Chardonnay.

Plum, Blackcurrant, Cherry

Pizza, Tomato-based Pasta, Funky Cheeses, Pork
