Descripción del producto

SITUATION OF VINEYARDS

A combination of different terroirs.

VINIFICATION

Degrees balling at harvest:  24B

Grapes were harvested in different batches and fermented separately using different yeast cultures.

Fermentation lasted 5 days at approximately 25°Celsius.  The wine was given pump overs every 4 hours for 15 minutes.

After alcoholic fermentation the wine was racked and underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and 2^nd fill barrels. Wines were racked and placed back in second fill barrels to mature for 12 barrels. The barrels were blended together after 12 months and bottled.

Winemaker’s comments

Intense cassis and cloves, with a touch of dried herbs and vanilla.

On the pallet intense blue berry and sour cherry followed by firm tannins but juicy aftertaste.

Enjoy this wine with full flavoured meaty casseroles, herb crusted rack of lamb, hearty winter soups and char-grilled meats.

Enjoy now or cellar up to 3 years.
