Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep Red
This is an elegant, structured wine with berry fruit aromas and soft mint on the palate. A full-bodied wine with well-integrated oak, it has beautiful depth of character which will ensure successful ageing.
About The Harvest
The grapes were hand picked.
In The Cellar
Grapes were sorted and cold soaked after destemming and inoculated with a pure yeast.
The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days, with twice daily punch-downs. After fermetation the wine was drained off the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period was allowed before transferring the wine to a combination of 225 liter barrels of French oak types. The wine spent between 12 and 14 months in barrel before bottling and labeling.
