LAS Vino Pirate Blend 2022
LAS Vino Pirate Blend 2022
Nick@LAS Vino: The 2022 vintage was a fantastic vintage with warm weather leading to even ripening and good yields. The Pirate Blend contains three Portuguese varieties: Touriga Nacional for structure and depth. Tinta Cao for aroma and finesse. Sousao is the darkest berry I know, and you know what they say, the darker the berry, the sweeter the fruit. All the fruit was hand picked from 40 year old dry grown vines in Yallingup.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red in hue. The wine displays notes of sweet spice, cinnamon, clove, plum compote, blueberry and dark chocolate. Soft silky tannins with an exotic mix of red berry fruit sweetness and cocoa on the palate. Long, complex and an intriguing finish.
Plaudits
The blend is the Portuguese varieties touriga nacional, tinto cao and sousou. Peterkin has taken a deft approach to gently coax the delightful fragrances and flavours from these varieties. So many things happening on the nose with spicy, cloves and light plum with a subtle chocolate coating. It’s such a vibrant high energy wine with bright fruit flavours lifting from the palate. Ray Jordan 95 Points.

About Winery
About Winery
Nic Peterkin likes to zig in a wine landscape that zags. With a heritage of grandparents Kevin and Di Cullen (of Cullen fame) and dad Mike Peterkin (Of Pierro) he was probably destined to make wine in Margaret River, but the creativity and risk taking that’s flourished on the canvass needs to be cherished and valued. He does the Margaret River staples (Cab and Chardonnay) extremely well but also brings some alternative varietals to the fore
LAS Vino stands for Love, Art, Science. It’s an apt name for his wine. Everything by hand. Everything boutique. Everything with style.
