Tasting Notes:

Aromatic fruit driven in its youth, the primary characters are blackberry and some sweeter strawberry notes fill the glass. Complexity is derived from some chocolate, licorice and roasted coffee along with the presence of gentle oak. The full bodied fruit forward palate is filled with the flavours of ripe red and black berries, perfectly encapsulated by the fine oak tannins that lead into the long finish.

Technical:

Sourced from a small vineyard from a block aged 60 years plus. Small bunches ensured fruit purity and intensity, which is a key requirement for this wine. The fruit is picked and crushed into old vats where fermentation began via the addition of wild yeasts found on grape skins. Careful extraction and short post ferment maceration is followed by basket pressing. The wine under went malolactic fermentation in American oak and then was aged in the same oak with some skins added back to add further fruit character and ensure the fruit flavour was as intense as possible to ensure it was not over whelmed by oak but complimented by it. Bottled with minimal filtration or fining.

A wine which will benefit immensely with time in the cellar to settle and develop. It will have a great lifespan of around 10 years.
