Sweetly perfumed with ripe strawberry, raspberry and a hint of glazed cherry. Chocolate and earthy notes too with a hint of cedar. Generous mouthfeel with flavours of plum and red fruits. Medium weight, good length, and some fine grained tannins adding density to the finish. Pretty and poised.
The grapes were crushed to open top vats and fermented with frequent plunging of the cap. The wine was left on skins after ferment to assist integration then moved to 225L oak barrels, (25% new), to undergo malolactic fermentation and mature for 7 months. After that the wine was blended, lightly fined and bottled.
92 Point Rated - Natalie McLean
"Juicy with black cherry on the nose and palate. Supple, smooth and delicious. Pair with veal. Pinot Noir food pairings: mint and thyme lamb chops, lamb shish kebab, lamb stew."
International Wine & Spirit Competition
"Clean, interesting nose with herbal hints. Juicy soft berry fruit and a clean, fresh finish."
