Description
- French oak
- Black cherry
- Mocha
- Supple & silky
"Complex, soft, caressing bouquet, varietal and new, sweet, ripe red fleshed fruits and gentle layers of wood spice. Plum and cherry, raspberry flesh and baking spices. There’s no mistaking this wine has pinosity and charm. Equally delightful on the palate with core flavours that mirror the bouquet, an abundance if fine polished tannins and backbone of acidity for freshness and longevity. wood flavours and structural attributes need more time to integrate, this wine will reward with more complexity and character if given the time. Well made with a lengthy finish, packed with pinosity and style. Best drinking from late 2024 or early 2025 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Apr 2022
Expressive nose of plum, black cherry, and tasty oak. Deeply fruited, rich mocha, supple and silky, with a long finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegantce, integrity and balance.
The 2022 vintage yeilded beautiful fruit fro each of their Parkburn (85%) and Gibbston (15%) sites, which they ahve simply guided gently through to the bottle with minimal handling.
