Vinification

The wine was whole berry fermented and cold soaked. Halfway through fermentation, half of the wine was pumped into American oak barrels. The rest was left to ferment dry on the skin. It was then
racked into French oak barrels. The wine was oak matured for 18 - 24 months in 100% new oak. .

Winemaker’s Comments

Complex amalgam red berried fruit, chocolate, espresso, mulberry with sweet spice and smoky oak. Round and full, velvet and lively, ripe and fresh. Silky texture pallet with supple tannins and lots of horsepower. Excellent ageing potential. .
