A combination of inoculated and spontaneous natural fermentation on skins for an average of 14 days in open vats. Gentle cap management using compressed air to protect aromatic qualities of the wine.

Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer followed, providing perfect conditions for healthy balanced vines. The long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours.

Aging Process

Wild yeast, open fermenters Maturation: 10 months in French Barrique, 8% new oak

Tasting notes

Medium to full bodied and silky textured with a lovely flow over the palate. Dark brambly fruit at the core, with red fruits on the fringes. The finish is deliciously long, framed by the supple elegant tannin structure built by whole berry fermentation and judicious use of oak.

Aroma

Highly perfumed and extremely pretty. Blackberry, mulberry, red liquorice, 5 spice and chocolate all make an appearance.
