Tasting Notes

Lifted enticing blackberry, plum and blueberry fruits. Toasted oak, spice and chocolate round out the nose.Fresh and vibrant palate with dark berries, spiced plum characters. Well integrated oak drives the palate forward harmonizing with the fruit to ensure a soft silky texture, fine tannins and wonderful persistence.

Winemaking

Destemmed then fermented with some whole berries, fermented in open top fermenters with select yeast strains. It was pumped over daily and spent 14 days on skins then went through malolactic fermentation naturally. 12 months in oak gave addition complexity but varied age of oak ensured fruit flavours were still the core driving force. The wine was blended and then filtered prior to bottling.
