Tasting Notes
Aroma
Spicy and brightly perfumed, with ripe cherries and plums. The fruit is complimented by baking spices and dried herbs with subtle violet florals.
Maturation
French Oak for 18 Months
Appearance
Deep Ruby
Palate
A plush palate with generous flavours of bright red berries, fine acidity and supple, fine powdery tannins. An elegantly framed expression offering a delicious drinkability upon release.
Vinification
Hand picked and chilled overnight prior to handsorting. 70% destemmed and 30% whole bunches included. Fermented in small stainless open top fermenters with 100% indigenous yeasts over a period of 3 weeks prior to pressing into French oak barrels for eighteen months (30% new).
Cellaring Potential
Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 10+ years.
Vintage Notes
A mild spring after a wet winter in 2021 gave the vines a good start to growth. Budburst occurred around average timing from early September with only a few frost events occurring. Flowering was kind and produced what would have been a favourable yield. However, December and February brought significant rainfall (more than 200mm) to the usually dry period, giving the vines renewed vigour but unfortunately also increased the threat of disease. Hand dropping of diseased bunches was paramount to retain quality. This resulted in a smaller than expected harvest but one with ample classic fruit driven characters.
