Approximately 30 % of the fruit was fermented as whole bunches including traditional foot stomping in open top fermenters. This component aids in the retention of freshness and complexity. Maturation in the cellar was for 12 months in a combination of small 228l barriques and stainless steel tanks.
Primary aromas of fresh raspberry, plum and brambly spice are evident. The wine shows soft, velvety tannins and will develop complex forest-floor and earthy characters with bottle age. Superb with salmon, poultry and game dishes. Drink 2018 to 2022.
