MORE INFORMATION:
Deep crimson red in colour. Ripe mulberry fruit, warm cinnamon and delectable chocolate on the nose with fine fresh hints of mint. The fruit follows through on the dense
and finely structured palate, with juicy red berry flavours on the finish. Juice was left on the skins for
extended maceration of 18 days, after which it was matured in Frenchoak for 15 months (20% new oak).
This wine will benefit from careful cellaring for 6-7 years from vintage
