HANDCRAFTED COOL-CLIMATE WINES
Vibrant aromatic lift of fresh berries and dark spice with cedar oak notes. The medium bodied palate is very even and balanced with charcuterie and spice flavours and suede like tannins. The bright acidity enlivens the palate and gives focus, leading to a smooth persistent finish.

At the completion of ferment given an extra 1 – 2 weeks on skins prior to pressing then filling direct to barrel, approx. 20% new French. Matured on lees without racking for 18 months prior to blending, filtration and bottling. Matured for a further 10 months in bottle.
