Attractive aromas of cassis, blackberry and herbal notes, complexed by hints of Middle Eastern spices.
45% Cabernet Sauv, 30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc
22 months in French and American oak.
Well-structured medium-bodied palate, Built around dark berry fruitiness, herbal notes and well integrated oak. The finish is long with fine, soft structured tannins and a wonderful aftertaste of mint and blackcurrant.
All varieties were fermented separately in static upright fermenters for 8-9 days. Gentle pumping of juice over the skin cap to extract the colour and fruit flavours, occurred twice per day until the juice was run off and the skins pressed at about 2°Be. The wines were filled to barrel after fermentation was complete, and blending occurred just prior to bottling.
