Nose
Blackcurrant compote, fresh cassis, bay leaf and regional allspice.

juicy yet sculptured and elegant with sublet hints of bay leaf, red cherry and toasty French
oak.
Growing Conditions
Excellent winter rainfall provided a great start to the growing
season followed by a warm spring with very little rain.
December and January had a few intermittent showers but overall had characteristic warm
days and cool nights allowing fantastic tannin and colour development.

April 2014.
Winemaking
Matured for 14 months in French oak barriques.
Appearance
Vibrant ruby and purple hue.
