Deep red with some purple hues, the bouquet has enticing varietal fruit with aromas of cherry and plum. There is sweet, juicy fruit on the front palate. It is of medium weight with cherry and plum fruit with some spice and a hint of oak. It has good length of flavour with fine tannins.
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.
