Producer Profile
Brothers in Arms is very much a family concern. As the owners, Guy & Liz Adams are involved in all aspects of the business on a daily basis. It’s not surprising really as they live on the vineyard only 2 minutes down the road to the winery.
The homestead is the hub of everything as well as being the domain of their 2 children, Myles & Emily. They are the 6th Generation to live at Metala and are the inspiration for many things, including the No.6 label.
“As we continue to be the custodians of the Metala property our vision moving forward is to respect the lessons learned in the past while seeking out innovative approaches to our future.”
Viticulture
Having control of the wines from the soil to the bottle gives Guy & Liz great satisfaction. They understand how each parcel of fruit came to be and where certain distinct characteristics may be found. This is invaluable when it comes to blending the wines, building each layer of texture and flavour to create styles which they believe best showcase the estate and the Langhorne Creek region.
The most notable thing about Langhorne Creek is the ability to grow premium quality grapes with a minimal amount of fuss. The climate is warm enough that we don’t have to endure some of the cool climate headaches such as devastating frosts, labour intensive canopy management or inclement weather associated with late harvest dates.
Sourced from the Metala Vineyard, the fruit was machine harvested at night on the 8 March – 26 March 2013. 100% single estate, 4 individual plantings.
Winemaking
On receival the fruit was destemmed only, no crushing. 10 days on skins prior to pressing and maturation in 20% new American oak barriques, 80% seasoned French & American oak barriques.
Tasting Note
Dark in colour, dark fruit jam with killer vanilla and lightly toasted coffee beans on the nose. The palate is generous and mouth filling with soft, smooth tannins. A crisp acidity gives freshness and a clean finish. A bold, intense style but retains fruit character.
Goes well with
Barbequed meats.
Cellaring
Up to 5 years.
