Wine Description
The fruit for this wine was harvested at optimum ripeness and handled with extreme care as it was brought into the winery for crushing. Individual parcels were fermented separately before being transferred into seasoned, high quality French oak barrels for around 12 months of maturation. Here, it was carefully and continuously monitored and allowed to steadily develop in flavour before each hand-selected parcel was blended, fined and bottled.
The generous palate shows delightful flavours of dark plum, raspberries & a lovely earthy, and slightly savoury, spice.
