Sourced from six different vineyard sites, the wine is aged for a minimum of 12 months, mostly in stainless steel vats, with a small component (5-10%) aged in French oak.
Totally opaque dark red black core with a vibrant dark red hue. Aromas of fresh blackberry, raspberry and red liquorice are a touch restrained with earth and spicy fresh herb notes ensuing. Warm and generous yet still remarkably fresh, dark cherry, liquorice and raspberry fruits fill the mouth with an undercurrent of fresh herbs, light earth and spice. Bright acidity and fairly polished tannins with a long delicious aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 15.5%
