Seven Sleepers, or Siebenschlaffer, is named after an old Barossa German farmers’ lore, being that the weather that occurs on 27 June is likely to be prevalent for the next 7 weeks. The first wine destined for the Seven Sleepers range was a blend of 7 grape varieties from the 2004 vintage, thus cementing the name.
Colour: Vibrant magenta-red with purple hues.
Nose: A bright, fruit driven nose is dominated by blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry aromas, with earthy tobacco notes, chocolate, soft violet florals and wild herbs.
Palate: A soft, juicy palate with fleshy, mouth-filling berry fruit sweetness and a subtle hint of oak offering great drinkability. A smooth, chocolatey texture is supported by a backbone of fine Cabernet tannins, giving the wine a satisfying mouthfeel and a delicious, lingering finish.
Peak Drinking: The rich combination of sweet, mouthfilling flavours is ideally suited to current consumption, however the wine will also reward careful short-term cellaring.
Food Match: Seven Sleepers ‘The Blend’ is a non-traditional red blend that offers the chance to match full-flavoured and spicy foods with fine Barossa red wine.
