Brand Summary: Mullet wines deliver bolder ripe fruit flavours up front with a bigger body and mouthfeel driving a big, long finish. Or like any great mullet, it’s business at the front, party at the back. Hand-crafted and purpose built, these are wines doing all they can to be big on flavour and big on drinkability. Mullet wines putting good times and enjoyment above all else!
Winemaking: Selected parcels of the vineyard displaying bigger, riper fruit flavour are handpicked purposely for the blend. Harvested early in the morning to ensure freshness is retained before destemming entirely prior to fermentation and racking to mostly new and used French oak barriques. Four months in oak with selected barrels blended back with a smaller component that was left in tank on lees for a fresh yet well-rounded wine, offering maximum flavour impact with full palate coverage! Bottled with minimal fuss and minimal handling.
Vintage 2024: A brilliant vintage for Mullet wines. An early cold period leading to a mild temperature growing season ensured full and even ripeness was achieved across red and white varieties alike. Yields were down, but flavours were bold. These big riper flavours arrived in the berry later in the season allowing for picking at higher Baume resulting in above average ABV.
Tasting Note: Big aromas of plum, mulberry, cedar and red florals. Teh palate is fleshy and bold showcasing all the juicy forest berry flavors wrapped up in a softly woven light tannin cushion. Delicious now, on its own or with richer red meat dishes.
