"body_html": "<p><em>"Since 1987, the Hill-Smith family have purchased fruit from this vineyard and in 1992 counted themselves amongst those fortunate enough to own a vineyard upon the famous terra rossa soil over limestone. Experimentation, innovation, minimalist intervention and small batch winemaking has resulted in The Menzies’ reputation as a wine of longevity, elegance and structure.</em></p>
<p><em>TERROIR & SITE<br>In the heart of Coonawarra, the vineyard site is reasonably level, with the defining terroir difference coming from the soils. Our soil is red sandy loam over limestone, which is classic Cabernet Sauvignon dirt. Most of the vines for Yalumba The Menzies 2015 were planted in 1975 and are trellised tall with wide rows. Bunches are usually small with small berries giving a concentration that favours the creation of full bodied reds.</em></p>
<p><em>VINTAGE CONDITIONS<br>A wet winter replenished soil moisture followed by a warm spring and summer. These mild conditions encouraged vine growth and advanced flowering by two weeks earlier than average. Dry conditions throughout December and January kept the bunch and berry size small. The fruit was harvested with excellent concentration of colour, flavour and tannins. WINEMAKING The grapes were crushed to small static fermenters where the liberation of colour and tannin is controlled either by plunging the skins, irrigating the fermenting wine over the cap or draining all the wine from the skins then flooding it back. Selected parcels are given extended skin contact before pressing.</em></p>
<p><em>TASTING COMMENTS<br>Dark cherry red with a crimson hue. Elegant and inviting aromas of cedar and chocolate combine beautifully with rich, ripe cassis and violets. Sublime tannins give the drinker an insight into the agebility of this wine. Excellent drinking now and it will continue to evolve and delight. Decant and enjoy with char-grilled rib eye on the bone or porcini risotto."</em> <strong>-Yalumba</strong></p>
