Wine Description
Sourced from several separate vineyards, the fruit was destemmed, crushed, and then fermented in static fermenters with regular pump overs. Temperature was maintained at approximately 22C for several days and then allowed to rise naturally to complete the first stage of fermentation. Optimum colour and tannin was extracted from fermentation on skins, and a portion of the wine was transferred to aged French and American oak hogsheads for further maturation.
Deep red, with intense black cherry characters. Rich & full flavoured, the palate is layered with ripe fruit and long, silky tannins.
