Our wine is dark red with a youthful and luminous scarlet hue. The full flavoured palate has an imposing presence displaying complex bramble fruit, dark chocolate and a firm, but fine tannin structure. A wine of great length and flavour, complex, and perfectly balanced ensuring a long future with years of life ahead.
TASTING NOTES
The fruit was hand-picked, sorted, and destemmed into small open-top fermenters. The fermentation was carried out with indigenous yeasts and lasted for a period of eight to ten days. The resulting wine was then gently pressed off skins using a basket press and completed malolactic fermentation in French oak barriques. Following 16 months of maturation, the wine was blended and bottled showing distinctive regional dark fruit and spice characters.
