Winemaking

Manual harvest is small cases, followed by careful manual sorting of each grape. The wine is aged for 13 months in 35% new oak.

Tasting Notes

Intense bouquet with aromas of red and black fruit, spices and a touch a oak. Rich and structured on the palate, this wine needs a bit of patience in order to reveal its raciness and great distinction. Excellent ageing potential.

Points of Distinction
