TASTING NOTES

The grapes were harvested at an optimum ripeness and crushed into open concrete fermenters, heading down boards were used to submerge the skins during fermentation to optimize colour and tannin extraction. The must was then pressed using a basket press, and then transferred into both French and American Oak hogsheads for a period of around 18 months for maturation prior to bottling.

COLOUR: Deep and bright red with purple overtones.

AROMA: Intense, with notes of ripe plum and dark cherry with some light mixed spice all integrated with
subtle oak.

PALATE: A robust wine with rich generous black berry flavours, plum and light hint of vanilla. It has a long and flavoursome finish with silky ripe tannins and complex oak derived characters.
