Tasting Notes
Aroma
Intense aromas of red cherries and raspberries with hints of clove and savoury oak.
Maturation
The wine was then pressed and put to French oak puncheons where matura-
tion took place for 8 months.
Appearance
Deep red in colour with violet hues.
Palate
The medium-bodied palate is bright and juicy with flavours of cherries,
plums and nutmeg. Soft tannins from the oak add structure and complexity.
Vinification
This wine has been produced from Tempranillo grapes picked in early Feb-
ruary from our Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard. The grapes were destemmed and
then cold soaked for 5 days. Primary fermentation took place for 7 days in a
stainless steel fermenter with twice daily pump overs.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 vintage began with an early spring that saw budburst commence
ahead of schedule, with the vines then enjoying a long warm and sunny
ripening period, with average rainfall. These elements, along with smaller
yields combined to deliver one of the earliest vintages in living memory. Near
perfect ripening conditions allowed for the development of rich flavours
whilst maintaining natural acidity.
Food Matching
Tapas, chargrilled lamb or woodfired pizza.
