'The captivating bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, floral, toasted spice, game and fine oak aromas, leading to an impressively concentrated palate offering multi-layered mouthfeel, wonderfully structured by silky texture and layers of supple tannins. Energetic and luxurious with refinement and structure, finishing seamless and persistent.'
Hand harvested, destemmed and crushed into small 1.5 tonne open-top fermenters. The fruit was chilled for 5 days before being allowed to naturally warm to start fermentation. Various cap management techniques were used to highlight the unique characters of the individual vineyard parcels. After approximately 20 days on skins the ferments were pressed and transferred to a combination of new (45%) and seasoned French oak hogsheads. Matured for 18 months in oak without racking, the wines were then carefully blended, naturally clarified and bottled without filtration.
