Description
"The parcels of fruit were fermented separately in small stainless-steel fermenters, some with submerged caps. Some batches were left on skins for up to two weeks to extract additional colour and structure. Post classification, the component wines were matured in oak for 18months - 42% new fine grain French oak and the balance older hogsheads and puncheons.
NOSE: Attractive waves of black fruit with hints of anise, clove and florals. PALATE: Richly textured with a multitude of tightly packed dark fruit layers. Deep, pure fruited and commanding. The palate also displays hints of ironstone and licorice, finishing with integrated, chocolatey tannins. While seductive in its primary fruited youth, the 2021 Eligo will benefit from at least five years of cellaring and should age gracefully for over twenty years." - Winemaker Note
