Returned servicemen from the Great War could look forward to government grants of pastoral freehold. West Australia's Willyabrup Valley was such a place, just a short walk from the balmy beaches of Indian Ocean, it offered the veterans excellent potential for agriculture. The fertile lands of Sussex Vale were originally established to animal husbandry by the discharged troopers, generations of livestock enriched the soils and it was astutely sown to vines in 1973. Fortuitously placed at the very heart of the Australian west's most illustrious estates, it continued to occupy the thoughts of neighbouring Howard Park's chief winemaker, until he acquired the property and relaunched a softly spoken range of the most exquisite wines. Aspirants of the blue blooded styles from Margaret River will be delighted, redolent reds which bloom with berries and violet cassis, powerfully structured whites with substantial palates and crystalline fruit, chiselled and refined, the veteran vines of Hay Shed Hill...

Biserno Tenuta di IGT CONFIRM VINTAGE

Merlot Cabernet Franc Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot Tuscany Italy
A solid backbone of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with smaller components Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Piero Antinori, the icon vintner who created the concept of super Tuscans in the 1970s, was inspired by unique soils along the Upper Maremma to plant Biserno's specialty, the esoteric Cabernet Franc.

Grapes yielding a mere 1½ bottles are selectively hand picked off vines grown to complex silts, alluvial sands, a high percentage of clay and a conglomerate rich in minerals, all very similar to those found in Bordeaux. Berries are further sorted upon arrival to the wineworks, de-stemmed, gently crushed and vinified for three to four weeks at 28C before being treated to full malolactic in a combination of barrels and fermenters. Matured fifteen months in a selection of French oak barriques before assemblage, bottled and treated to another year of ageing under the Biserno cellars before release. Alcohol 14.5%
Intense dark, saturated colour. Fragarances of dark fruit, perfumes of cherried oak, scents of liqueured plums, blackberries and spice, notes of sandalwood and mineral. An exceptionally fine palate exhibiting extraordinary length and great succulence of fruit flavour, sweet berry confit and sustained chocolate. A complex yet brilliantly integrated wine of singular balance and restraint.
