Nose
A rich bouquet with aromas of plum, cherry and hints of mocha and spice.
Palate
The palate is full of rich dark berries and licorice on a generous silky smooth finish.
Growing Conditions
The 2014 vintage was another stand out vintage for the Frankland River Region. A cool dry spring, leading into a moderate dry and warm summer, ensured low yields and perfect even and slow berry development.
Harvest
March 2014.
Bottling
November 2014.
Winemaking
The grapes where harvested during the cool of the night to ensure quality was maintained. A cool fermentation took place in static fermenters and gentle extraction of colour and flavour was achieved over a two week period. After primary ferment the wine was gently pressed off skins to a mix of new, second use and third use larger format French oak barrels. After 18 months maturation in barrel the wine was blended prior to bottling.
