Tasting Notes

colour

Bright crimson red.

aroma

Ripe aromas of currants, damson plums and sweet spices.

palate

A medium bodied wine bursting with juicy blackberries, cassis, prunes and ripe Damson plums. There is layer of warm mocha spice from oak ageing and soft, firm tannins add a savoury finish and characteristic regional structure.

cellaring

This wine is ready to enjoy on release but will find further complexity over the next five years.

Technical

vintage

We had a mild spring with adequate soil moisture, resulting in a slightly later season. A moderate summer led to ideal ripening conditions with little pressure in the vineyard and a lack of any major rain events during the ripening season. Consistently warm days and cool evenings made for great retention of acid within the grapes, whilst achieving optimal fruit expression.

winemaking

Fruit was cold soaked prior to fermentation to aid colour and tannin extraction.

Fermentation occurred in open-top fermenters, with plunging and pump-overs used for aeration and temperature control. Post-fermentation, wines underwent extended maceration on skins before being pressed to tank and barrel for maturation.
