The fresh fragrant bouquet shows an appealing mix of red and dark forest berries, with plum, and a background of savoury and spice nuances. The whole bunch Grenache adds a sweet pungent spice lift.
52% Grenache, 42% Shiraz and 6% Mourvedre
The wine was then filled to a mix of French and American oak Hogsheads for maturation for 18 months.
Juicy red and dark berry fruits are the basis of a supple, medium to full bodied palate, with structured layers of spiciness and chocolate. The flavours are long lingering leading to fine tannins and subtle oak.
The 3 components were hand harvested and fermented separately in upright static 10t fermenters. 20% of the Grenache was whole bunch fermented and matured separately. The standard fermentations proceeded at about 20-24°C for 8 days, with juice being pumped over the skins twice daily. When most of the sugar had been converted, the wine was pressed, and pressings were added back to the free-run juice.
