Palate

An intricate tapestry of glazed cherries, violets and graphite, deftly woven into a palate laden with flavours of red currants, cacao nib and plum skin. Bristling tannin on the entry and a tensile core of liquorish, black berries and slate, culminates in a persistent and ever-changing mineral finish.

Growing Conditions

A long and gentle vintage weather pattern, slightly cooler that the long-term average. The fruit gained lovely perfumes and textures while maintaining a magnificent verve.

Winemaking

The parcels of fruit were fermented and matured separately, and after 12 months were blended before bottling based on a precise tasting profile.
