Nose
Juicy blackberry and dark plum combine with lovely savoury tomato leaf.
Palate
The palate bursts with juicy plums and dark berries providing freshness and vibrant acidity to the wine. Black pepper and subtle cinnamon spices enhance complexity and texture. The tannins are delightfully soft and persistent, creating a long finish.
Harvest
The 2020 vintage was characterised by a cool, dry and long growing season, resulting in wines with elegant acidity, ripe tannin and great depth of flavour.
Winemaking
Shiraz and Malbec parcels were crushed and pumpovers and delestage were used to extract fine tannin and colour. After 12-14 days, when fruit flavour and tannin extraction were optimised, the separate fermentations were pressed and primary fermentation was completed to dryness. The wines were then racked into French oak barrels for 12-15 months of maturation, before blending.
Appearance
Deepest crimson with purple hues.
Food Pairing
Harissa marinated flat iron steak with grilled Mediterranean vegetables.
