Tasting Notes

Beautiful deep ruby colour with a purple rim. The nose presents a bouquet of blackberries, black cherries and mocha which follows through to a velvety-smooth palate with finely integrated tannins. Well- rounded with a lingering cedarwood finish.

Handpicked fruit was destalked, crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The ‘aerated pump-over’ method was used to gently pump the fermenting juice over the skin cap four times a day for one-hour periods at a time, ensuring soft tannins. After fermentation the wine was pressed, racked and matured in 1/3 new French Oak, 1/3 in second fill French Oak and 1/3 in third fill French Oak for 13 months

An exceptional pairing for caramelised roasted vegetables, or pastas with meaty sauces such as a simple spaghetti Bolognaise.
