Wine making:
Fermentation took place in open top concrete fermenters at 28 0C. The floating skins were punched down mechanically, every 2 hours during fermentation. The juice was drawn off the skins after 3 - 5 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was matured for 12 months in 2 nd and 3rd fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels.
Description:
Nose: The bright ruby colour of this wine is complimented on the nose by attractive aromas of red currants, cherries, spice and a touch of mocha.
Taste: The palate is lively and fresh, with succulent raspberry flavours. The fruit is supported by a firm, yet silky tannin structure. Savoury notes persist on the lengthy finish.
