Tasting Notes

Ruby red in colour and perfumed and aromatic nose with cherry and roasted tomato with hints of oregano, mulberries, and juicy plums. The palate is well balanced with additional layers of spicy earthy tones, sundried tomatoes and cloves. A natural acidity adds to the lingering aftertaste.

About The Harvest

All grapes were hand picked.

In The Cellar

Grapes were sorted twice before a pure yeast culture, BM 45, was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre of French and Hungarian oak types.
