Description: 
Wine making is simple with The Cunning Plan. Take perfectly balanced, just ripe fruit, pick, gently crush to preserve whole berries and allow to soak for 4 days to extract colour, aroma and fruit prior to the alcoholic fermentation which extracts more pronounced tannins. Following the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is pressed off to 300 litre used French barrels where it matures for 10 months prior to bottling. The resulting wine is bursting with fruit, wonderful purity and that characteristic Langhorne Creek plush, earthy quality. Delicious.

Tasting Note: Great depth of ripe plum and blackberry fruit flavours. 

A full bodied wine with amazing length and a succulent palate, lively spices tons of dark fruit and fine velvety tannins.
