Vineyards and Winemaking
A selection of clones 115, 777, 10/5. Grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected from 15-year-old vines grown on clay soil and cane-pruned.
The grapes were 90% de-stemmed and 10% whole bunch, 72-hour cold-maceration and fermentation in stainless steel vats and left on skins for 3 weeks. Aged in 50% new and 50% used French oak barriques for 12 months.
Tasting notes
A deep ruby coloured in the glass, this wine displays lifted aromatic layers of cherry, plum and bright floral notes with subtle hints of liquorice, oak and spice. The palate has layered flavours of ripe red and dark fruit, spice and integrated French oak underpinned by nuances of dry herbs and savoury characteristics. Mid-weight on the palate, this wine is balanced and mouth-filling with refined silky tannins, balanced acidity that seamlessly lead to a long and elegant finish.
