"Youthfully charming and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows dark plum, tapenade, warm spice and floral notes, followed by an elegantly weighted palate that displays succulent fruit flavours and rounded texture, backed by fine-grained tannins, making it delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020
Deep red in colour with a purple hue. A complex savoury nose with fruit characters of plum and blackberry. Notes of wet earth, roasted coffee and five spice give additional interest to the aromatic profile. The palate is full bodied and rich with a meaty and earthy complexity. The spice notes are from both the fruit-five spice and black pepper-and the newer barrels. An umami like savouriness beef stock and soy-comes from a long maturation time on yeast lees. The texture on the palate is from supple front palate grape skin tannins. These tannins help balance the fruit richness and give the wine structure without contributing hardness.
All fruit was hand-harvested and destemmed to open top fermenters. The grapes were ‘cold soaked’ for seven days before undergoing a quick fermentation with natural vineyard yeasts. After fermentation the young wine was pressed to tank before draining to French oak barrels-20% were new. Malo-lactic fermentation was completed in barrel and the wine left to age on full lees. After 10 months of aging the barrels were blended and the wine bottled.
Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine with grilled or braised red meat dishes.
