Winemaking and Maturation
The grapes were harvested from mid-February to mid-March and were fermented in stainless-steel tanks. The juice was pumped over the skins daily to extract colour, tannins and flavour. Upon completion of fermentation the wine was left on the skins for a further 3 to 7 days. The wine was racked and malolactic fermentation was completed in the barrels and matured in new 300-litre French oak barrels for 18 months. Great care went into the selection of individual barrels to create this unique wine. After blending, the wine spent another 6 months in 3rd fill barrels. The wine had one coarse filtration before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Aromatic red berries, mulberry and plums, with cedar and subtle aroma of dried herbs. The blend finds focus early as it enters the palate with incredible purity and plushness. Flavours of ripe cherry, blueberry, ripe plum skin and apricots. Sumptuous and full there is a pleasant hint of spice on the mid-palate which leads to poised, firm and velvety tannins on the finish.
Technical Details
41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Petit Verdot, 17% Malbec, 7% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot.
