Tasting Note
A sophisticated and serious wine with the nose showing leather, dark chocolate and black fruit compote. The palate is rich and very full bodied revealing dark bramble fruit, black pepper spice and a subtle note of sweet earth.
Vinification
Following hand picking and double sorting the fruit is cold soaked before a long, warm fermentation. The wine undergoes daily remontage and delestage. Malolactic fermentation is encouraged and the wine spends a short time on its lees. The wine is aged for 18 months in a combination of first and second fill French oak barrels.
Food Match
Serve with hearty gamey fayre or barbecued meats
