Tasting Notes: 

Dark cherry, black plum and dried spice of nutmeg, ginger, caraway with lashings of coco powder. The fruit concentration leads to a lush, full and sweet fruit palate that is so finely textured but still dense with tannin. The fruit power persists through the palate and drives seamlessly with the tannins creating a harmonious finish with such grace and finesse.

Technical Notes:

The 2021 Vintage saw good rainfall In Autumn and desired sporadic rainfall through spring led to better than average fruit set furthermore this filled and maintained soil moisture all the way through to summer. Far cooler summer temperatures led to even ripening and slow grape maturation leading to exceptional phenolic ripeness and colour. Fermented in stainless steel with temperatures between 20-24°C. Pump overs were performed four times a day with reduced pump overs towards the end of fermentation. Gentle pressing was performed by a combination of basket and bag press. The wine was matured for 18 months in a combination of 30% new French hogsheads and 70% in 2-5 year old French hogsheads and puncheons.
