Press ReviewPress

Quite a restrained style and very elegant, with nice, spicy oak characters. It has much more to offer on the palate than the nose suggests: fresh, elegant and vibrant red and black sweet fruit and good intensity.

Winemaking

Fruit was crushed/destemmed before predominantly small batch fermentation in a combination static and open fermenters. Fermentation takes 7-8 days @ 24 – 26o C, during which the cap is managed using a combination of aerative pumping over as well as regular plunging by hand. After fermentation 35% of the components experienced a period of extended maceration on skins before a very gentle pressing. MLF takes place in a combination of tank and barrel. The wine was matured for 14 months in French oak (40% new barriques) before the blend was assembled, and given a gentle egg white fining prior to bottling. The wine is bottled under screw cap closure.
