It has a clean and precise bouquet with a touch of gravel, tinged with a scintilla of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannin, not heavy in the mouth and nicely balanced on the simple, graphite-tinged finish.

This wine expresses rich dark fruits, blackberry, cassis, mocha and white pepper flavours with a lengthy velvety finish. Cluster ferment was used to create depth and structure while the delux French Oak adds spice and silky tannins.

     

The wine is made using wild yeasts and some whole clusters, then aged for 12 months in 65% French oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The resulting wine is wonderfully complex with earthy tannins, sweet, ripe fruit and fabulous complexity.

Intense pink grapefruit, lemongrass and ripe peach notes complemented by hints of brioche and ginger. On the palate, it is creamy stone fruit and citrus flavors, supported by a racy acid line and finishing with lingering savory notes.
