Tasting Notes

Dark crimson with youthful hues. Lifted aromas of ripe raspberries, plum and cherry layered with chocolate and allspice. A full-bodied wine with an intense, generous palate of raspberries and plum pudding with dusty chocolate, earth and spice. Rich and flavoursome, with great length and ripe lingering tannins.

Food Accompaniments

Seared lamb rump or Osso buco.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit was crushed/ destemmed and then fermentation took place in vinimatics being rotated every 6 hours. Thereafter, the wine was bag-pressed and all components were fermented in American oak before undergoing maturation in new and 1 year old French and American hogsheads for 14 months.
