Shiraz & Rhone Varietal based Red Blends

The grapes were hand-harvested in March at 23° to 25° Balling when fruit and tannins were fully ripened but berries and skins were still firm. Grapes from each vineyard block were vinified separately. After fermentation on the skins for 10 to 12 days at 26°C, the juice was racked and the skins then pressed. After malolactic fermentation the wine spent 12 months in wood, mostly first- and second-fill American, French and Hungarian oak. THE WINE Colour Deep purple Bouquet Ripe plums and red fruit, savoury notes and oak spice. Palate Full and rich with a complex mixture of dark fruit, plum flavours and savoury notes. Intense spice on the palate with traces of nutmeg and oak, supported by firm tannins.

Excellent enjoyed on its own or served with game or red meat dishes
