Description / Reviews
Deep crimson in colour this wine has vibrant aromas of wild berries with complex sweet spice characters. The palate displays juicy red fruit characters together with complementing sweet spice flavours. Soft and velvety tannins persist the length of the palate that finishes with a subtle savoury nuance. Winemaking All three varieties were hand harvested and fermented separately.
To promote colour, tannin and flavour extraction the three parcels were cold soaked for a short period prior to warming for fermentation. Slow, cool natural ferments ensured fruit retention and mid palate richness. Post ferment the Grenache and Mourvedre vessels were soaked further on skins for an additional 11 days before being pressed straight to large oak puncheons for maturation. These parcels were matured in oak for 12 months with minimal intrusion, before being blended, naturally clarified and then bottled.
