Description
A complex wine showing intense cassis, wet tobacco, blackberry and liquorice with undertones of graphite and allspice. The palate is full bodied with an elegant structure that will allow the wine to develop well over the next decade.
The components were sorted and whole berry vinified in open top fermenters with regular pump overs to ensure optimal extraction. The components for this blend were aged separately in 60% new, 20% 2nd and 20% 3rd fill 300L French Oak barrels for 18 months.
