THe WINEMAKING

Sit back, relax, and take a chance on this fortuitous Nebbiolo. Dark 
cherry, dried herbs and warm spice greet you beneath a starlit sky, 
before a trail of rose petals invites you through an open door. You 
enter and the evening becomes something more.

A late-night dinner 
party hosted by Fortuna herself. You raise a glass to flavours of plush 
fruit, prosciutto and new friends. The night you never saw coming — 
a fortunate moment found by those willing to embrace the unknown

The Vineyard

The maritime influence at our Langhorne Creek vineyard that is created by the afternoon sea breezes allows fruit flavours to evolve without excessive sugar production. The limestone based soils create wines of power and elegance with great varietal character. This vineyard is ideal for precision control over water use on the vines and known to provide more structural wines.

Taste profile

Primary flavors

Rose Petal

Rose petal flavour is highly aromatic and may be described as similar to a basket of fruits, nasturtium or cloves.

Cherry

Fruit flavors in red wines typically fall into two different categories: red fruit and black fruit flavors. Cherry flavour falls into the red fruit categories but the cherry flavours span from red to black, and fresh to sweet. Confusing! Red Cherries can typically be found in young Grenache. Black Cherries are found in mature Pinot Noir.

Forest floor

Forest floor in wine is traditionally a tertiary aroma that comes from ageing a bottle in some red wines. It's associated with similar notes of mushroom and leather which can develop over time. You might also find a wine that is described as 'earthy' will have a smell of wet forest floor.

Secondary flavors

Herbaceous Notes

Herbaceous notes unfold a garden-fresh tapestry of aromas and flavours similar to herbs such as mint, vegetables such as asparagus or freshly cut grass. These aromas are generated by a component in white and red grapes, called pyrazine.

Bay Leaf

Bay leaf imparts a savory flavour - similarly to its effect on a traditional Spaghetti Bolognaise - the flavour of bay leaf in wine is herbaceous or reminiscent of green olive.
