Style & Tasting Notes

The wine bursts with rich, ruby hues, ripe flavours of blackcurrant and raspberry layered with caramel and chocolate. Hint of spice and succulent tannins with a silky finish.

Wine Making Notes

The grapes fermented slowly under temperature control and underwent extended maceration. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was blended and matured for 12 months. 50% of the wine was matured in 225L French oak barrels. Minimum fining and filtration followed before bottling and another 12 months of bottle maturation ahead of release.
