Deep crimson in colour, with vibrant aromas of blackcurrants, cloves and freshly tilled earth. A rich palate displaying complex brooding characters with a rounded robust mid palate. A wine with lovely grainy tannins, focus and refinement which will mature gracefully for many years to come.

The grapes were handpicked and 100% destemmed into an open top fermenter, where they remained for 20 days. Naturally fermented and hand plunged daily then pressed to a mix of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for maturation. Matured
in barrel for 20 months with no racking, before being clarified and bottled without filtration.
