An intense nose showing floral aromas, black cherry, plum and a touch of spice from the barrels, making for a beautifully integrated wine. Layered with dark fruit, oriental spice and complex savoury flavours which support the fine grained tannins. The intensity of the front palate cascades into a lingering seamless finish.

Winemaking
Special care is taken of the Excelsior Block which is hand tended, enabling meticulous management of the individual vines. This includes pruning, leaf plucking, shoot-thinning and hand harvesting. This wine is fermented in small open top fermenters with a 5-7 day pre-ferment cold soak. It is hand plunged throughout fermentation then has 5-7 days extended maceration. The wine ferments naturally with wild yeasts and has 10% whole bunches in the ferment. The wine is then matured for 18 months in French oak, the first 12 months in a mixture of new and old barriques, and the final 6 months in neutral oak.
