Product Description
The wine exhibits vibrant, characteristic aromas of ripe blackcurrants, berry fruits, and dark plums entwined with hints of spicy, toasty oak. The generous palate is packed full of jubey forest fruits, cassis and chocolate characters. Full bodied, the attractive fleshy fruits fit into a structure supported by supple tannins, a solid acid backbone and a persistent berry fruit finish. Perfectly approachable in its youth, this wine will comfortably cellar for several years.

Winemaking Notes
The fruit was crushed and destemmed then fermented in a combination of Static and Rotary fermenters at 26oC for 5 – 7 days. Approximately 20% of the components experienced a pre-fermentation cold soak, with another 30% being left for a period of extended maceration on skins for 28 days. The various batches underwent MLF in tank and barrel before 14 months maturation in a selection French oak barriques (20% new oak).
