Deep ruby with a garnet edge, showing youthful vibrancy. Medium-bodied wine with layers of mint, eucalyptus, chocolate, plum and mulberry. Full and elegant, with a long conclusion.
The best quality grapes were selected and picked at optimum tannin ripeness, gently crushed and fermented in small open top fermenters. The wine matured for 12 months in small, third-fill French oak barrels.
