Sample
The wine included 25% whole bunch and a very hands on approach to vilification with the grapes double sorted and juice drained and returned during ferment before the wine was aged for 15 months in a 2500 L French oak foudre. The colour is a vibrant deep red with purple hues; the nose benefits from the inclusion of whole bunch which gives a spicy, savoury flare to concentrated yet floral black fruits with a raspberry liquorice twist.
The palate is vibrant and fruit forward but reveals structure and presence with a prettiness to plum fruit that is laced with milk chocolate and a layered Influence of spice. The finish is all about plum and raspberry fruit with impressive length. A wine that you can't wait to see in a few years time.
