Description
- Oaked

Deeply coloured, with ripe plum and black fruit flavours along with a deft seasoning of oak and soft tannins. A blend of 98% Merlot lifted with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Syrah for lifted floral aromatics. Soft, food friendly and hugely drinkable now, but with the weight and concentration to cellar for 5-8 years if you must.

Destemmed to tank. Part hand plunged and part pumped over. Pressed to tank for MLF then matured in oak barrels prior to bottling.
