Hand-picked over 2 weeks the berries are cold soaked, gently plunged and
temperature controlled in 4 tonne parcels in open fermenters for gentle and full
extraction. The wine is matured in 100% French oak barriques (26% new) for 2
years, then further stored in our underground climate controlled cellar for 18
months before release. The inviting nose bursts with ripe raspberry, redcurrant and
cherry plum fruit leather aromas with hints of violet and sweet spice. Fine tannins, a
succulent depth of flavour and balanced acidity result in a wine that is extremely
easy to drink and a wonderful food wine. An exciting wine to lie down too!
