Description
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.”
Winemaking
18 months in tank with a small percentage of the wine spending a short time in French oak.
Tasting Note
Deep crimson and magenta in colour. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum with complex vanilla and spice. The palate is well rounded, yet spicy with gentle, almost dusty tannins adding a welcome structure and long finish.
Goes well with
Slow cooked roast lamb with jus and all the trimmings.
Cellaring
Up to 5 years.
