Soft, smooth & sleek
Description
- 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.
Hand picked in batches by varietal and destemmed with 100% whole berries Cold soaked for 4-5 days and fermented in small open top fermenters 16 months in old French oak barrels. Individual Barrel selection to taste. Unfined and unfiltered. 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon & 33% Cabernet Franc.
