Description

Cherry red in the glass. A fruit driven wine with upfront ripe red berries with sweet oak and hints of vanilla. A well balanced wine with upfront fruit on the palate. Well integrated soft, sweet tannins. Oak give good length and structure.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed, then fermented on oak at cooler temperatures of 18–22oC for 5–7 days, to ensure retention of varietal characteristics during fermentation. During fermentation the wine is pumped over regularly to extract colour, tannins and fruit characteristics. Post fermentation the majority ofthe wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with parcels spending time on Oak. Components are then selected, blended, stabilised and clarified.

In the winery a cheeky little pig started to make a name for himseld. Random mischevious acts were being encountered, often acompanied by a glimpse of a curly tailed behind scrambling away with the cutest of little snorts. The winemakers could not help but love this little character; so much so that they named a wine after him.
