Deep vibrant red with light purple hues around the edges. Classic, varietal aromas of cassis, red capsicum and choc-mint are enhanced by sun-dried tomato, with a touch of earthiness. A long, complex palate features rich velvety tannins, with plum, nutmeg and cherry flavours interwoven with earthy, minty hints.
Cellaring Potential: Made to drink upon release whilst the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant but will reward cellaring over the medium term.
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.
A great partner for full bodied rich meat dishes. I suggest spicy beef calzone with fresh capsicum, mushroom and onion.
