Viticulture
Cool and dry.
Winemaking
The grapes were picked in the cool of the night and bottled early to lock in all its fresh characters.
Tasting Note
Bright dark brick red colour with tinges of black to the edges and a light red hue. On the nose it’s all about fleshy dark fruit and plums integrated with spicy French oak and a dash of musk. On the palate, soft tannins open the gate to a subtle mid palate followed by a long soft finish. This vintage is a delightful mix of sweet fruit, a touch of garrigue and a savoury edge.
Goes well with
Duck, rabbit, lamb or just on its own.
Cellaring
2-4 years.
