Tasting Notes
Fox in the Hen House ‘Fox Hunt’ Cabernet Shiraz has a bright crimson hue that is lively and deep. The aromas are of cassis, boysenberry and blueberry jam with clove and pepper characters adding complexity, along with subtle hints of mocha and tobacco notes. The palate is full and rich showing ripe dark berry fruit, which has integrated well with some superb silky tannins. Cocoa and mocha oak flavours follow through on the palate, complimenting the berry fruit.
Technical Notes
Good winter and early spring rainfall provided the vines with some much needed deep soil moisture. Strong winds during flowering and sporadic frosts caused yields to be slightly reduced. A hot summer was tempered by reliable and welcome cooling breezes along South Australia’s coast, aiding to maintain some natural acidity in fruit. The 20-30mm of rain that came in late-summer reinvigorated the vines. The cooler weather patterns which followed lead to near perfect ripening conditions. 2014 was a year of very smart whites, fantastic and elegant reds, great fruit flavour with well-balanced alcohol and tannins. The Cabernet and Shiraz fruit was crushed and static fermented on skins for 7-10 days. The wine was pressed off the skins and underwent predominantly American oak treatment for 6 months prior to final filtering.
