Notes:
Tasting Note
Initial aromas of ripe cherries, black tea and Asian five spice lift from the glass. Over time hints of seaspray, cinnamon and cranberries build into the opulent bouquet. The palate is classical and well defined. Fine, natural acidity and a layer of sweet summer fruit add balance and texture before a long finish with lingering notes of black cherry and cinnamon spice.
Best Enjoyed With
Roasted duck with cherry sauce reduction served on a bed of winter vegetables and potato puree. Wholegrain lasagne with aubergine, heirloom tomatoes, courgettes and capsicums.
Treatment
The fruit was hand-picked and placed into two fermenters with 30% whole bunches included in the ferment, the balance being destemmed.Fermentation started naturally after three days and was complete after a further five days, with two gentle hand plunges during active fermentation to gently extract tannins. The wine was drained, pressed and settled prior to being placed in French oak barriques (35% new). The wine underwent malolactic fermentation during its 10 months in barrel.
