Warburn Estate 1164 Limited Release Australia Lagrein 2022 - 12 Bottles

Tasting notes

Winery Overview 1164 Limited Release is the premium label of Warburn Estate, created by the Sergi family who have been making wine in New South Wales for almost forty years. The range focuses on small parcels of high-quality fruit and careful winemaking to ensure every bottle shows depth, character and regional quality. Chief winemaker Carmelo DAquino personally oversees the vineyards used for this range. Region and Vintage Conditions The 2022 vintage experienced dry conditions with low yields. This helped the grapes develop strong colour and rich flavour concentration, ideal for producing a structured and expressive Lagrein. Fruit for this wine was sourced from premium growing areas across the Riverina in New South Wales. Source Grapes come from small, carefully selected parcels of vines known for producing consistently high-quality fruit. Vineyard management focuses on low yields to maximise flavour and ripeness. Winemaking The wine is matured for twelve months in a mix of French and American oak. This builds structure, spice and smoothness while keeping the fruit intensity at the centre of the style. Tasting Notes Appearance Brilliant purple. Aroma A complex mix of violets, leather and spice. Palate Full and structured with dark chocolate, plum and subtle liquorice undertones.
