The fruit for this wine was 100% destemmed and not crushed to retain the lifted fruit characters. It was left on skins for 3 days at around 6-10 degrees Celsius to pick up colour and aromatics. The juice was then lightly pressed, 80% to tank, 10% to old French Barrique.
The fruit for this wine was hand picked and selected.
Bright redcurrant, cranberry and spicy aromatics give way to an elegantly textured palate showing great salivation, freshness and poise.

93 Points It's delightfully expressed on the nose showing ripe peach, rock melon, sweet strawberry and floral aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's beautifully rounded and lingering. It's silky and flowing to a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2021.
