"Sweetly fruited and immediately appealing with dark plum, cherry, vanilla and hazelnut characters with a touch of mixed spice. It's succulent and supple on the palate delivering lovely rounded mouthfeel combined with silky texture, finishing long and tasty. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2021
Clear deep ruby-purple colour. Clean and distinguished aromas of black cherries, strawberries, roasted coffee beans and chocolate. These berry jam flavours attack the palate with juiciness getting smoothed out with light vanilla and delicate milk chocolate and roasted Java bean. On the palate the wine is luscious, full-bodied with firm but ripe velvety tannins and a long finish.
100% Tempranillo grapes from 30+ year old bush vines grown in Spanish Meseta of Castilla La Mancha.
Grapes were harvested in the second half of September. They were cold macerated at 5ºC for 48 hours, fermented at 24-28ºC for 12-18 days and then aged for 4 months in 1-2 year old French & American oak barrels.
