VQA

A bright yet deep ruby red colour with a wonderful bouquet of red cherry, red currant, and red plum fruit, with complementing notes of spice box, smoke, leather, and subtle oak. This medium-bodied wine has smooth, silky tannins and classic, bright, food-friendly acidity. The juicy, fruit-forward flavours of red cherry and red berry are accented by a note of sweet spice. Red cherry, red currant, pomegranate, spice, oak, and earth linger beautifully on the dry finish.

WINEMAKING
The grapes were given a gentle crush, then fermented in a small open top fermenter with Brunello yeast. A full malolactic fermentation for a supple mouthfeel. Aged in two French oak foudres for 24 months in a climate-controlled cellar.
