This wine is ready for immediate consumption but will continue to develop and complex with some bottle age from three to five years.
Tasting Notes:
Deep black cherry colour with a purple hue. Fruit driven style displaying spicy berry and fruit characters, with notes of pepper, red currant aromas and subtle oak. Soft, medium bodied wine with elegant fruit and gentle tannins and smooth finish.
Wine-
maker's Notes:
Individual blocks were picked and processed separately.
The grapes were gently destemmed and crushed into fermentation vessels.
The must was inoculated and fermented on skins for between 7-10 days,
being gently hand plunged up to six times daily. Some batches were
left on skins for 10-20 days after fermentation. The grapes were pressed
and most of the pressings were combined with the freely drained wine
