Appearance
Deep ruby in colour.
Bouquet
Cool grown aromas of red currants, lilac florals, leafy notes and a touch of briar.
Palate
Medium bodied and plush, with red and blue fruit, dried flowers and leafy undertones. Fine tannin, and fresh acidity add texture and freshness, and add length to the palate.
Fermentation
Fruit was destemmed, crushed then soaked for 5 days prior to fermentation using wild yeast in small open vats peaking at 28 degrees with 7 days maceration on skins post ferment. Pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation, and matured in new and seasoned French oak barriques for 12 months. Bottled in February 2025.
Conclusion
Drink now or cellar for 4 to 8 years.
