Description

This intense red blend encapsulates our vision to make 'one of a kind' wines. Once on the palate, ripe blackberries and spice pepper flavours come to life with lingering soft tannins and a hint of oak.

Vineyard

High clay, red soils with minimum irrigated soils create a balance between growth and flavour development.

Vinification

Each varietal was harvested by hand and fermented in small open-top stainless steel fermenters at 25-26 C for about 12 days. Pump overs and punch downs were alternated every four hours to ensure optimum extraction of colour and tannins.

Maturation

Maturation and malolactic fermentation were completed after 12 months in new and old French barrels.
