HANDCRAFTED COOL-CLIMATE WINES
Medium ruby in colour and displaying elegant aromas of aniseed, woody herbal characters, and spice teamed with an undercurrent of ripe plums. A well-structured palate. Juicy fruit, fine tannins, and a lingering finish.
Production Notes
Handpicked, the fruit was crushed and destemmed, with a portion not crushed to retain some whole berries. Fermented with indigenous yeast and gently hand plunged or pumped over twice daily. Left on skins post ferment for 1-2 weeks before being pressed directly to barrel. Matured in a combination of French barriques and Hogsheads for 18 months, with the inclusion of 30% new oak.. Bottled July 2023.
