Tasting Notes
COLOUR
Deep brick red with subtle purple hues
NOSE
Richly ripe and beautifully perfumed on the nose, with black currant, briar, subtle mulberry, and restrained cedary notes.
PALATE
Generous and flavoursome with fruit sweetness and a persistent concentration that lingers in the mouth. The lovely balance of fruit sweetness, tannins, and acid give the wine extraordinary finesse and balance.
Winemaking
Picked in the cool of the morning, gently destemmed and inoculated with a cultured yeast strain, and fermented at 24-28 C. Malo lactic bacteria were also added at the commencement of primary fermentation. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed, and matured in French oak puncheons for sixteen months, before being bottled in September 2022.
Food Pairing
Slow-cooked lamb cassoulet, harmoniously accompanied by an array of meticulously selected, farm-fresh seasonal vegetables
