Tasting Notes
Whilst the name Émigré continues in the same vein as the Exile, there is a big difference in the style and make-up of the wine. Exile is a single vineyard wine, whereas Émigré is the opposite in that it comes from an array of vineyards across the Barossa.
Sourced from two vineyards in the Northern Barossa Valley sub region: the Moppa and near the Kalimna Vineyard, which is the mother vineyard of “Grange”. The vines themselves are aged between 49 and 80 years old and they are cropped, using green harvesting, at less than 3.0 tonne to the acre. Grapes were picked at dawn, received fermentation, which was conducted in small open top fermenters, followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in 100% new French oak barrels.
