Tasting Notes

Colour - At release, the wine has a concentrated ruby red colour with a dark purple hue to the edge. Nose - The wine has ripe and concentrated aromas of violets, dark plum and liquorice. Concentrated layers of creamy American oak add complexity. Palate - This is a voluptuous wine with great mid palate expression, layers of flavour and yet great balance. Fresh red berry fruits are cradled across the palate by mocha and vanilla spice flavours from high quality oak. The barrel fermentation results in a wine that has well integrated fruit and oak and harmonious, elegant flavours and a long persistent finish.
