We quickly realised that a wine born from logistics had real potential as a medium bodied, juicy style with great food compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘The Fergus’ is a unique blend that brings together the best of 3 distinctive red wine varieties, having the spiciness and ripe strawberry character of the Grenache, the lifted red plum and cherry aromas of the Tempranillo together with its tannin structure, and the mid palate richness and violet notes of the Malbec. Ageing in older French oak barrels adds subtle, integrated perfume and toasted characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a luscious mouth filling wine with silky tannin that with careful cellaring may be kept for up to 15-20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__winemaking_notes additional_row\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"heading\"\u003eWinemaking Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the fruit parcels used to produce this wine were left on the vines to fully ripen, and then destemmed, crushed and fermented separately on skins for 7 to 10 days. After a carefully managed fermentation that promoted colour extraction while limiting the harsh tannins uptake, the wines were pressed off skins and some of the softer and balanced pressings combined back with the free run. The different wine components were then filtered, blended and transferred to a mixture of older French oak hogsheads. The wine remained in oak for 24 months before bottling under screwcap for freshness and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__food_pairing additional_row\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"heading\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt nicely complements duck, turkey, lamb and spicy dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tim Adams Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45849611206758,"sku":"23F","price":26.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1463\/2038\/files\/sang_600_x_600_px_23.png?v=1786059484","url":"https:\/\/timadamswines.com.au\/products\/tim-adams-the-fergus","provider":"Tim Adams Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
