Tasting Notes
Aroma
Layered aromas of candied
melon, subtle spice, and strawberries and cream, are
complemented by a characteristic savoury minerality.
Appearance
Pale coral in colour.
Palate
The palate is bone-dry yet reveals a creamy texture
and wet stone salinity. A moreish, salivating finish
with very high drinkability.
Vinification
Merlot and Tempranillo were harvested across
multiple small picks to capture a range of flavour
profiles, yielding a final blend of 85% Merlot and
15% Tempranillo. Fruit was destemmed and crushed
with minimal skin contact of just two hours, followed
by a long, cold settle to refine colour and aromatics.
Fermentation took place at cool temperatures in
stainless steel with cultured yeast, with each block
kept separate until blending shortly after fermentation
was complete. Bottled June 2026.
Vintage Notes
The 2026 vintage opened with a warm, dry spring and
excellent fruit set. Several well-timed rain events in
early summer replenished soils and refreshed canopies,
setting the red varietals on course for outstanding
ripeness, with thick skins and intense concentration.
