Description
Saturated ruby with slightly paling rim, layered savoury-sweet flavours of spiced dark cherries, toasted oak, mocha, dark chocolate and leather: good depth yet not too extracted with earthy berry fruit and finely honed tannins giving balance and structure: a well-defined, expressive finish. Grapes were destalked and fermented with NT 50 yeast in stainless steel red wine tanks. Four pump overs were done each day. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in French oak for 23 months.
