Wine Description
Deep garnet in colour displaying an enticing bouquet of dark cherry, spiced plum and white pepper. The palate is richly concentrated and rounded, but well-focused with structural tannin and natural acidity running the entire length. A wine that will mature well for at least a decade, developing complex savoury characters over time.

Winemaking
The 80+ year-old, dry-grown vines were hand-harvested and the fruit destemmed and crushed into a small 1-tonne rotating oak barrel fermenter. A slow and controlled ferment with extended skin contact ensured great extraction and integration. Pressed after 50 days on skins into a large 900-litre oak vessel for a 20-month maturation period. Maturation occurred on full press lees, which provided for enhanced mouth-feel and palate texture. Prior
