The wine shows vibrant plums and raspberry flavours with hints of mocha with generous cedar oak notes. The tannins are generous but gentle with a finesse that carries the berry and plums flavours to a long lasting finish.

Fruit was fermented in stainless steel tanks for 7 days with cool fermentation temperatures to preserve the delicate fruit flavours. Gentle pump over of juice was employed to avoid over extraction of less desirable tannins and promote a deep level of complexity. Post fermentation the skins were gently pressed to stainless steel tanks and inoculated to initiate Malolactic fermentation.

The wine was then racked into new and used French oak with a small percentage of used American oak. After 10 months of maturation specific barrels were selected for expressed concentrated fruit characteristics lifted aromatics with complementary oak that supports the fruit.
