Tasting note
A core of rich blackcurrants, black plum, with a savoury overlay and mixed spice. The velvety character is a result of generous oak maturation resulting in finely textured tannins and a long-lasting finish. Complex and layered, you will find the palate of the wine evolves as it breathes in the glass.
Vineyard
The vineayrds are situated 200m above sea level, and just 7km from the ocean, with soil types of Tukulu and Oakleaf.
Viticulture
The garpes were hand picked from Block 5, which has soils with excellent structure and water draining ability, producing compact bunches with small berries and thick skins.
Vinification
The grapes were hand sorted and destemmed. Whole berries were soaked for 5 days before fermentation began, which lasted 15 days between 18-25 degrees. Pump over, rack-and-return and MLF then all took place. Maturation included combination of 225L and 300L French oak barrels (30% new) for 17 months.
Food Match
Great paired with cheese, burgers, steak, lasagna and mushroom dishes.
