Wine Description
Deep Purple - Medium-bodied - Fine Tannins - Blackcurrant - Stewed Plumb - Eucalypt
Starting with great care, the remarkably clean fruit was delicately managed, receiving frequent, gentle pump-overs to highlight its blackcurrant characteristics and refine the tannins. Following fermentation and a light pressing, the Midnight Dilemma found its home in neutral French oak for full malolactic fermentation and a restful 10 months of maturation. Remaining unfiltered and unfined, it was finally bottled in January 2023.
Winemaker's Bio
Tom, with his roots deep in agricultural science, sought a change in 2017. Venturing away from cropping and sheep farming, he found his calling in the rolling vineyards of Geelong, Victoria. Entranced by grape growing and winemaking, he honed his craft through vintages in Geelong & California, USA. With his experience and a postgraduate degree in oenology tucked under his arm, Wilkie Wines came to life—a testament to Tom's passion, dedication and love for art, inviting you to experience the magic in every bottle.
