• French oak
• Cassis & plum
• Elegant florals
• Juicy & rich

Dark black fruits, cassis and plum. Layered with elegant florals and brambley forest floor notes. Soft, smooth & sleek on the entry with a juicy, rich, mid core of black fruits and a long, savoury, moreish finish.

Warm from early Spring with frosts a rarity. The warm months continued into summer with February rains posing a challenge with disease pressure. The end of summer heading into Autumn brought warm, dry weather just in time for a more settled weather pattern for the reds to be picked.
