Nose
A complex bouquet of blueberry, cassis, violet and graphite.
Palate
The palate is beautifully balanced and finely structured showing luscious red berry fruits and smooth fine tannins.
Growing Conditions
Leading into the 2014 vintage we had excellent rainfall during the winter months of 2013, some strong winds in spring and minimal rain during the summer period and ideal diurnal weather conditions during the ripening period. All in all very favourable conditions for producing high quality grapes and wines.
Harvest
March and early April 2014.
Bottling
November 2015.
Winemaking
All parcels from this site are harvested during the cool of the night. The fruit is crushed and destemed to Static Fementers. Ferments are maintained at cool temperatures with minimal pump overs, to ensure delicate extraction of flavours and colour. The wine is on skins for up to one month and then pressed off to a mix of French oak barrels - a third in new and the remainder into second and third use oak for 18 months barrel maturation.Aged in French oak for 18 months this wine offers excellent cellaring potential.
Aging
