Description
Aroma - Vibrant red berry fruits with a distinct stone fruit layer. Delicate notes of rose petal, cinnamon and cracked pepper.
Palate - Mouth filling and dry, with an energetic acid balance. Peach and nectarine flavours with classic cherry and strawberry notes.
Cellaring - Best in its vibrant youth, expect the fruit intensity to mellow over the next 3 years to more complex notes. Confidently cellar through to 2024.
Winemaking
Harvested over 5 separate picks, with 4 by hand the grapes were gently pressed and the juice left to settle clear before fermentation. A mix of old oak barriques, a large oak cask, and stainless steel tanks were used to ferment the separate blocks. A small percentage of Malbec and Syrah was included in the blend, with bottling 3 months after harvest.
