Palate: Ripe and juicy showing extra weight in the middle of the palate after an initial rush of berry flavours. The oak and tannin structure adds complexity and depth to a long lingering finish.
Winemaking: Each parcel of fruit is gently crushed and transferred into small open fermenters. Heading down boards keep the cap submerged for better skin contact . The fermenters are temperature controlled to provide optimum conditions. Gentle extraction is achieved by the draining of wine from the skins and returning back over. Wine is then transferred to temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for maturation.
