New For The On-Premise: Devil’s Lair ‘Dance With The Devil’ Wines

Distributed by: Treasury Wine Estates

RRP: $24.99

Devil’s Lair has added two new varietals to its on-premise range - Dance with the Devil. The range offers textural wines with interesting complexity and character that match well when paired with food.

The new varietals - chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon - have, in addition, been made using different methods of winemaking in comparison to their counterparts, allowing these two new wines to offer a style slightly different to the rest of the range.

Tasting notes:

2014 Dance with the Devil Chardonnay

‘Wild’ ferments have been used in this wine, as well as 100 per cent malolactic fermentation and a higher percentage of new French oak barriques. The result – a richer, more textural palate, with a softer, more secondary profile and creamy nougat nuance.

2013 Dance with the Devil Cabernet Sauvignon

A small percentage of malbec and petit verdot have been incorporated into this wine, with some parcels of different varieties fermented together, as well as some use of one and two year old large format old French oak. Together, these techniques have given this wine a lifted perfume, no new oak influence and savoury, soft tannins, as well as less acid.
