Aroma & Palate

This wine is a sultry shade of magenta in the glass. The aromas that emerge first are smoky and savoury, with dark fruits showing next. Blueberries, figs and raspberry compote are complemented by toasted vanilla and allspice. The palate is medium-bodied with fantastic tannin structure, and the fruits are joined by dark chocolate and mocha flavours. The wine has a persistent finish of rich fruits and leather.

Food Matches

This versatile wine will match well with many meals, being supple enough to pair with a smoked salmon pasta, but rich enough to enhance slow-cooked beef cheeks. Try with mushroom or truffle-accented dishes to accentuate it’s earthy notes, or grilled foods with some smoky flavours. Later on, pair with an aged Gruyere for a match made in heaven.

WINEMAKING DETAILS

The fruit for this wine was machine harvested on 13th March 2019, and brought to the Winery to be crushed into small, open top fermenters. From here, the fruit was kept at ambient temperature before spontaneous fermentation kicked in.

 

Ferment temperature was controlled at a warm 28-32c to ensure maximum extraction of colour and flavour. Post ferment maceration on skins was 23 days, before the wine was drained and the skins pressed off.

 

Press wine was combined with free run to add tannins and structure, then the wine was matured on French oak for malolactic fermentation. After 7 months the wine was pumped to seasoned French oak barriques for a further 5 months. The wine was minimally fined to stabilise, and then filtered for bottling.
