Winemaking
Whole clusters were sealed under CO₂ for five days of carbonic maceration before fermentation began. Gently foot-plunged and hand-plunged until dry, the wine matured for eight months in neutral oak barriques before being hand-bottled under cork. Made without adjustments, fining, filtration or added sulphur.
Tasting Note
“Vibrant aromatics reminiscent of red cherry, raspberry, smoke and leather. The palate has a velvety texture with soft grain tannin, good weight and depth, with notes of allspice, mint, dark chocolate, prune and cigars. Long and impressive.” - Winemaker Rosie Menzies
