Stonyridge - Larose - Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot Cabernet Franc Carmenere - 2011 - 750mL
The 2011 Larose is a real triumph for Stonyridge. The team had survived the wettest summer combined with one of the hottest vintages on record to have an above average amount of wine in barrel. As a result of the difficult vintage, a significant amount of normal Larose quality fruit was declassified to Airfield. Despite some higher crop levels in the vineyard, a relatively small amount of Larose was produced.
Visually, the wine is a deep ruby with a brightness through the rim of the glass. On the nose, the concentrated cassis and plum characters combine with the lifted violets to give more of a right bank style Bordeaux blend, an indication of the significant Merlot proportion in this particular Larose. The oak integrates to provide pencil shavings and mocha notes, and supports the fruit weight harmoniously. The wine is has a firm structure and is quite tight at present from the natural acidity. This balances and accentuates the ripe tannins as well as giving length to the sweet fruit through the mid-palate.
Encépagement: 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 20% Merlot, 15% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc, 1% Carmenere

How many wines are in each Lot?
You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?
All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.

Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
