Tasting Notes
Aroma
Lifted aromas of cherries and red currant fruits with subtle cedar and spice.
Appearance
Crimson red colour with bright violet hues.
Palate
Medium-bodied, with a bright and juicy palate of cherries and cranberries with hints of savoury spice and soft tannins.
Vinification
The grapes were crushed and destemmed with cold soaking for 5 days. Primary fermentation took place for 7 days in a stainless steel fermenter. The wine was then pressed and put to a mixture of small & large, French oak barrels where maturation took place for 8 months. The wine was then blended, sterile filtered and bottled.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now or cellar up to 5 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2023 vintage began in the Hunter Valley cool and wet growing season with above average rainfall in Spring. These wet conditions increased disease pressure which was carefully managed with good vineyard practices. The cool conditions continued into late December and early January but the wet weather cleared to sunnier than usual days. Near perfect ripening conditions resulted in wines that haveintense flavours, whilst maintaining freshness and natural acidity.
