Production The wine was fermented on skins for 14 days to maximise colour and flavour and then aged for 15 months in French oak hogsheads
The colour is deep red, with aromas of lifted violet and cassis, fragranced by touches of briary fruits and dark chocolate. The palate is rich with a strong tannin structure balanced by flavours of blue fruits and cassis. Can be cellared until 2036.
Machine-harvested, crushed and destemmed, static fermenters, 14 days on skins, matured in French hogsheads for 15 months. Potent, intense cassis fruit is all cabernet sauvignon, as are the tannins, the two coalescing, leaving oak by the wayside.
