Wine Description
A lifted nose displaying delicate spice of clove and nutmeg with some cherry notes at the fore. Satsuma plums and sour cherry set the tone for this crunchy and vibrant wine. Firm tannins and refreshing acidity, coupled with bright fruit round out this medium-bodied beauty.
Traditionally vinified in open top fermenters with indigenous yeast and minimal additions. Fermented for 12 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel prior to maturation in older 300L French oak for nine months. Seasoned oak was selected for its minimal oak influence to keep the wine fresh and retain primary fruit characteristics.
