Nose

Ripe mulberries, vanilla and cherris with a dust of nutmeg.

Palate

Sweet fruited, bright and elegant. A fine boned fruit line flows into milk chocolate tannins, with a black olive savoury kick to finish.

Harvest

A cool start to the season delayed flowering and slowed early vine growth, but by late December our organic farming practices had the vineyard well placed for another stellar vintage. Healthy canopies kept the grapes cool through summer and preserved the freshness beautifully. Harvest finished up in early April, with the reds showing bright fruit and fine, silky tannins.

Winemaking

Fruit was de-stemmed but not crushed preserving whole berries, then fermented in a combination of open, static and concrete vessels at below 27˚C to maintain aromatics and slow tannin & colour extraction. Once pressed off skins, wines matured for 7 months in French oak and concrete tanks with final blending in November and bottling in December 2022.
