Tasting Notes
Light red with bright red hues. This wine has lovely youthful and vibrant cherry and spicy aromas and flavours, leading to a bright medium bodied structure with silky tannins, medium length, and persistent natural acidity.

Winemaking Notes
The grapes were hand-picked first week of April, fully destemmed with a high proportion of whole berries and fermented in stainless steel tanks with a selected yeast to dryness. The wine was then put into 1 to 3 year old French oak barriques to undergo the malolactic fermentation and aged for 16 months. The wine was sterile filtered before bottling. No fining.
