Deep purple in colour, with blackberry, plum and a burst of red cherry, accompanied by spice and white pepper aromas. The palate is a wonderful combination of red fruits and savoury undertones. Smooth tanins make for easy drinking with a soft lingering finish.
The grapes are picked and delivered to the winery and gently worked through the de-stemmer before being transferred to an open fermenter. The juice is pumped over daily to extract as much concentrated fruit as possible for a week period before draining and being basket pressed. The skins are then gently pressed for approximately 24 hours. After the wine has completed its malolactic ferment, it is matured in new and seasoned American oak barrels prior to bottling with minimal fining and filtration.

"It's sweetly ripe and fragrant on the nose with ripe cherry, smoked game, olive and toasted almond notes. The palate displays juicy fruit intensity with smooth mouthfeel and elegant tannins, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2030. $45.00"
