Dark cherry, ripe plum, and blackberry on the nose, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and coffee aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with plush fruit and a juicy finish.
The optimally ripe bunches underwent an overnight “cold-soak” to allow for color extraction early in the winemaking process. Fermentation took place with temperatures peaking at 28°C. The wine was pressed off the skins directly after fermentation, and following malolactic fermentation, it was matured for 12 months in seasoned 300L French oak barrels.
