Harvested at higher sugars -between midday and late afternoon- to ensure more dark fruit and jammy flavours. Grapes were handpicked. It was fermented at higher temperatures from 22- 26 degrees, then pressed at 8 balling to achieve a softer mouth feel. It was aged with staves, 40% French and 60 % American wood; to gain a fruity aroma, with a more complex mouth feel. Aged for 6-8 months.
Deep ruby red colour. Fresh fruity aromas of berries, cherries and plum, complemented by delicate wood maturation flavours.
Soft easy drinking, medium bodied wine with soft sweetish tannins.
