Colours of rich deep plum hues. Dark fruits, fennel and baking spice on the nose. Full bodied wine with dense flavours of plums, mulberry, earth and black olive, coupled with fined tannins and savoury finish.
Small batches of grapes are crushed gently and then transferred to open fermenters. The wine is then basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of new and used French and old American oak barriques to complete fermentation. The barrel ferments are aged on lees, there is no racking until final blending and no fining or filtration.
