Tasting Notes:
Gorgeous ripe blackberry, plum and black currant flavours, subtly enhanced by a whiff of French oak spice, a brush of vanilla, and a sprinkling of cigar box notes. The wine is full-bodied, complex yet subtle, and combines juicy tannins with fruit and oak on the palate, ending with a lingering finish.
Serve with:
Pasta or any red meat dish.
The Harvest:
The grapes are hand-harvested at the optimal time of aromatic concentration – 24° balling. It is of critical essence that the fruit is healthy and crisp with a good sugar/acid balance.
In the Cellar:
Wine is matured for 16 months in 20% new French oak barrels and the remainder in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels.
Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now or within five years from vintage.
