Description
"Beautifully complex and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark cherry, clove, dried herb, floral and toasted almond characters. It is wonderfully weighted on the palate, delivering attractive fruit intensity together with rich savoury nuances, brilliantly supported by fine tannins. The wine is stylish and delectable, and offers fabulous drinking. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sept 2017
Vinified using open fermenters, hand plunging, natural yeasts, and 11 months in French oak – 15 % new – before racking and settling in tank for a further 4 months. Fermentation was carried out using de-stemmed fruit including the addition of 25% whole bunches, plus several tanks of 100% wholebunch fruit fermentation.
Perfumed with lovely aromatics, there is a range of complexed fruit notes of darker berryfruit, some spice, savoury tones and dried herbs. The 2015 has a silky and lush texture fruit power yet finely balanced with fine tannins throughout and long in flavour. An elegant vintage for us and for people who prefer the classics over the blockbuster.
No filtration or fining, deposits may form. Organically grown, made and certified.
Winemakers: Duncan Forsyth & Anna Riederer
