Brick red in colour with a cherry hue. Initial notes of raspberry and red cherry on the nose which lead to spicy and earthy characters as the wine opens. The palate is rich and seductive with plums, cherries, hints of leather and soft earthy notes. The balance of fresh fruit and soft acidity, blended with savoury and chalky tannins, give this wine both drink now and aging capacity.

Winemaking
Fermented with a yeast called BM45, made famous in Tuscany for making great Brunello wines. The ferment temperatures are maintained at 30 celcius. A hotter fermentation extracts maximum colour, flavour and tannin from the fruit. This heat also helps soften the tannins in the wine through the polymerisation process. Once the wine finishes alcohol fermentation, the best free run wine is drained and allowed to settle for a day before being transferred to barrels for malolatic fermentation and barrel aged for 14 months. The wine is then blended, fined and bottled.
