Lifted blueberry and mulberry fruit aromas combine with warm toasted spice, hints of lavender and red licorice. Flavours of blue and dark berry fruit, with some complexing dried herb and floral flavours and background dark chocolate. With a nice line of bright acidity, the wine is soft and round with supple silky tannins and lingering flavours.

Each parcel was harvested and fermented separately in open fermenters for between 7 and 10 days before being gently pressed. The wines were matured for 18 months in a combination of French puncheons (500L) and hogsheads (300L) before being carefully blended prior to bottling. The percentage of new oak was about 10%, and the remainder a mixture of ages.

Food Pairing: Slow cooked lamb shanks, Ratatouille, or burgers on the grill.
