Description
A black cherry red in the glass with licorice cherry liqueur and freshly tilled earth on the nose, with hints of sponge cake.
Sweet fruit characters of ripe plums with black forest cake flavours and dark chocolate on the palate. Silky fine tannin, well balanced with a long finish.
The grapes for this wine came from a combination of vineyards. They were all kept separately during their fermentation and maturation lives. The machine harvested volume was crushed and destemmed into static fermenters and pumped over three times a day. After approximately ten days of fermentation, during which time the temperature and acid levels were monitored, they were individually pressed to tank using an air bag press. Finally the wine was racked off gross lees and put into barrel to finish malolactic fermentation and mature in a combination of new French and older barriques.
As with previous vintages, the grapes come from two main vineyards, one off the deep red Cambrian soil, the other from tougher more gravelly ground. The first gives rich, chocolatey and earthy flavours whilst the other has more highly fragrant notes with good acid and sweet fruit.
