tasting notes
strong red/garnet hues typical of this variety are your introduction to this wine
soft and slightly plummy in character, with a faint though persistent aroma of fine chocolate; hints of vanilla from the oak and overall a strong perfume of ripe red berries
a medium weighted style structured to show off the ripe berry flavours that underpin the complex but subtle palate. freshness is the essence of the wine with only the berry character showing its dominance;
a fermentation period of 10 days followed by a further 10 days of skin contact have kept the
tannins as fine grained as possible. the wine matured in French oak for 8 months
well suited to further bottle maturation of 3-5 years
an advanced growing season saw a very early harvest following a particularly hot summer
