Purple-red, bright and fresh looking. Aromatic and intense. Red and black fruits - raspberry, blackcurrant, pomegranate, blood plum and brambles. But with intricate detailing. There's hints of reduction and flint, cooked rhubarb, sage, licorice, pie crust and all manner of brown spices - cinnamon, sumac and nutmeg. The flavours all carry over on to the palate, framed by satiny, silky pinot-like tannins that fully coat the mouth, adding to the sense of intensity and dimension. The finish lasts for minutes, binding the fruit flavours and spiciness in a savoury yet refreshing package.
Hand harvested and sorted prior to destemming 70% of the berries into an open fermenter on top of 30% whole bunches. After a three-day cold maceration, fermentation spontaneously commenced peaking at 30°C. The fermenter was regularly pumped over and plunged during a three-week fermentation before the wine was pressed to French oak puncheons for a 14 month maceration on its gross lees.
