Alluring aromas of red cherries, forest floor, liquorice and flint adorn purple raspberry and violets. The palate is layered with plump red berries and spice, tightly wound by fine natural acidity and silky tannins, a hallmark of this site. A wine of power and restraint that will continue to develop.
The fruit was handpicked, 94% was destemmed and added to the remaining 6% left as whole bunches for fermentation. Natural fermentation commenced after three days and the must was plunged three times daily. The wine was pressed and placed into French oak barriques (25% new) for 12 months.
