Vibrant ruby red colour with purple hues. Lifted aroma of redcurrants, cranberry, violet florals, leather and spice, hints of olive and dark chocolate flecks. A juicy and textural front palate is followed by plum, mouthcoating gravelly tannin that drives the length of the wine and mulberries dominating the mid palate.
Vines were spur pruned. The grapes were machine harvested. This wine was shallow fermented, aged on lees for 18 months in 500 litre French oak puncheons. Unfiltered and unfined.
