Beautiful crimson/purple colour.Fruit driven style with blackberry, dark plum, and licorice all featuring on the nose. Rich and juicy, the palate has blackberry and plum flavours complimented with hints of licorice, spice and sweet cherry. Medium bodied wine with soft, silky tannins and a savoury, persistent finish.
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of six days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft, round, fleshy fruit and tannins while helping to build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.
