Colour: Intense crimson red.
Aroma: Beautifully ripe blackberries, fresh dark summer berries and just a hint of fresh mint and tobacco leaf.
Palate: Dense dark fruits with brilliantly aromatic flavours of raspberries and plums, dark chocolate and vanilla bean. Intensely full bodied with silky tannins, complemented by well-balanced French oak and a wonderfully long structured finish.
Winemaking: The warm dry summer followed by a wonderfully cool autumn allowed for beautifully formed bunches to be picked with optimal flavour and ripeness.
The selected parcels of ultra-premium fruit were fermented individually in 4.5t open fermenters. The wines were pressed off to barrel to complete primary alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and initially matured sepa-rately for 18 months. Primary blending and a further 22 months of maturation have allowed the individual components to harmonise into a balanced yet powerful wine.
Cellaring: With careful cellaring, this wine will gracefully age for the next 15 years.
Food matching: Wood fired goat shoulder marinated in Baharat (Lebanese seven spice), garlic, and preserved lemon.
