Winemaking and Viticulture
The grapes were picked at between 13.5 to 14.0 Baume to
produce the fruit flavours that are required to make this great
wine. The grapes were fermented in a mixture of vessels to
produce as much colour and flavour as possible. Portion of the
wine underwent oak during fermentation and once dry, the
remaining went to oak until the right balance was achieved.
Careful tasting and blending, by our winemaker, help produce
this wine of style and great value for money.
Tasting Comments
Intense red with purple hues. Fresh, complex cassis and mint
fruit flavours with some well integrated vanillin oak . Full bodied
with dense ripe cassis fruit flavours balanced with vanillin oak
but yet long and smooth. Try with chargrilled sirloin or a hearty
minestrone. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to
be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further
cellaring.
