Hand-harvested and vinified in small open-top fermenters with 30% whole bunches. A total of 17 days on skins before being sent to predominately old, large, French-oak vats for 10 months.
Highly perfumed, vibrant and complex with prominent black-forest fruits, tapenade, all spice, terracotta, dark cocoa powder and tamarind.The palate of this wine is the most interesting element. The flavours lead you to think that it is quite light, but as you taste the wine, the power and intensity unfurls to reveal a density that carries the palate further.
If cellared properly, will go the distance for the next fifteen years, however, without question,it is ready to drink throughout the next few years while it is youthful and fragrant.
Hand-picked, open-fermented with 30% whole bunches, 10 months in large French oak vats and puncheons. A very smart wine. The bouquet offers a combination of black fruits and stern spices, plus a waft of oak. The medium-bodied palate seamless picks up the theme in a star dust of spicy/peppery flavours and texture. It is at once powerful, yet calmly insistent.
