A complex and smooth blend with aromas of ripe black fruits underpinned by hints of mocha chocolate, vanilla and a delicate touch of wood spice.
 
The grapes were hand-picked and each of the vineyards were fermented separately in stainless steel with selected yeasts. Regular pump overs took place during fermentation to ensure the desired level of extraction. The different components were aged separately for 12 months in 10% new, 35% 2nd fill, 35% 3rd fill and 20% 4th fill French oak barrels, further imbuing the wine with subtle complexity prior to blending and bottling. 
 
A layered blend showing lovely complexity, with aromas of ripe black fruits underpinned by hints of mocha chocolate, a touch of vanilla and wood spice. Rich and smooth, the black fruit and chocolatey notes envelop fine tannins with great length on the finish.
