    TASTING NOTE

    Dark cherries, spiced plum and licorice nuances on the nose leads to plush fruit flavours on the palate. A mineral mid palate leads to a flinty aftertaste and creamy finish.

    WINE MAKING

    Hand harvested grapes were transported to the cellar. A whole bunch fermentation portion of 25% was included in the blend, the rest of the grapes (75%) were destemmed and whole berry fermentation commenced in French oak casks. Twice daily pump-overs ensured the delicate extraction of tannins. Total skin-contact time of around 21days were given, before pressing. Maturation commenced in 300L French oak barrels for 12months in barrels prior to racking, blending and bottling. 40% New barrels and 60% 2nd and 3rd fill barrels used.
