Tasting Notes
Appearance: Dark Ruby colour. Bouquet & Palate: Perfumes of sweet cherries, blackberries, plums and a spiciness on the nose. Same fruity characters on the palate are wrapped up in soft oak hints. The ripe subtle tannins create a wine ready to enjoy now.
About The Harvest
All grapes were hand picked.
In The Cellar
The grapes were sorted before a pure yeast culture, BM 45, was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre of French oak for 12 months.
