Tasting Notes
Aroma
The aromatics leap from the glass offering freshly
plucked raspberries and black cherry, amidst blackcurrant leaves,
violets and charred spices.
Maturation
16 months.
Appearance
Ruby red in colour.
Palate
These characters follow through to the
palate where they are met with a moreish cocoa powder tannin,
along with hints of dried tobacco and cedar.
Vinification
100% destemmed, fermented in closed-top stainless steel tanks.
Vintage Notes
A warm and early spring, with
minimal frosts. The season
transitioned to a warm summer
with several rain events post-
Christmas. Picking and selection
were critical.
