Tasting Notes

Bouquet & Palate: This wine has an intense ruby red colour, with black plums and cherries on the nose. Juicy tannins support a spicy pallet with plums and blackcurrants with a fruity dry finish.
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.
