An absolute treat of a rich, robust red. The 2016 was lovely, but this has taken a big leap forward in depth of flavour plus its additional time in oak.

Selected, handpicked grapes reach the winery in boxes of 20 kg. All grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, the grapes are carefully transported by conveyor belt, after cold maceration and fermentation, the wine has a lengthy post fermentation maceration with pump overs. Due to simultaneous ripening, the varieties were co-fermented and blended before ageing.

Tasting Note: Vibrant ruby violet coloration exudes concentrated fruit aromatics tinged with a fleeting hint of menthol, pine resin, eucalyptus, leather, and smoky spices. Capture the powerful depth of intensively bold forest berry flavour with poised age-worthy acidity, full body, delicate tannins, and a promise of future maturation potential.
