Tasting Notes

This is a rich and complex wine with layers of flavour and soft, fine, well-structured tannins. The wine shows a brick red colour with a rich and complex nose prominent in blackcurrant, tobacco and typical leafy characters with hints of game. There are hints of cassis flavours, cigar box and cedar all combined with lingering gamey note.

The fruit for this wine was harvested from vineyards with careful row selection yielding the best possible parcels for use in this blend. The fruit was harvested within the range of 13.5 to
14.0 Baume, once it had developed a full intensity and complexity of flavours, embodied by a full rounded tannic structure, important for mouthfeel and long, complex flavours on the finish.

The quality of the fruit lent itself to extended skin contact for optimum extraction of colour, so after crushing the fruit was Fermented on skins in temperature - controlled stainless steel forbetween ten and twelve days. Pressing, settling and clarification followed and the winemaking process was completed with the assessment and grading of all the separate components beforeassemblage of the final blends.
