MORE INFORMATION:
Winemaking Alcohol - 14.5% Residual Sugar - 2.9 g/l Total Acidity - 5.7 g/l pH - 3.57 After de-stalking and crushing, the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with regular punch downs of the skins to ensure optimal colour extraction. Matured for 60 months in a French and Hungarian oak, in a combination of 75% new and 25% used barrels. Tasting Notes Captivating aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, and black cherries, intertwined with sweet oak spice. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, it boasts a seamless balance between oak complexity and vibrant red and black fruits. The finish is rich and enduring, echoing Christmas cake spices and savoury cured meats. A true masterpiece, inviting indulgence with every sip.

Grilled steak and lamb chops, venison, braised short ribs, mushroom dishes, aged Gouda or cheddar cheese, dark chocolate.
