Bright with a deep ruby red center. The nose is upfront with aromas of red fruit, oak spice and white pepper. Bold, full-bodied the wine is perfumed with flavors of poached plums, pencil shavings and rounded off with a distinct salinity.
Bold tannins and beautifully textured, the palate is balanced and complex concluding with a long rich finish. An age worthy wine that will delight now and for years to come.

A warm summer followed by a cooler maturation period allowed for optimal grapes with intense flavour. It was a vintage that was made entirely in the vineyards, allowing the winemakers to guide and preserve the essence of what the vines had to offer.
The grapes were hand picked in small crates. Sorting occurred before and after destemming. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tronconic tanks. Lengthy pump-overs and extended maceration ensured a gentle extraction of ripe polyphenols.
The wine spent total of 20 months in wood, 50% new French Oak 400 liter barrels, the remaining 50% in 2nd fill.
