The aroma is at once appealing and inviting, deep and complex. Plum crumble, vanilla bean and sun-dried tomato to begin with; opening up to reveal nuances of roasted red pepper, saucisson and gravelly, tarry, mineral notes. In the mouth it has irresistibly lovely, succulent, soft texture. It is full and rounded, while beautifully-defined. Great refinement to the tannin texture. Creamy stone fruit character - plum and cherry cheesecake. Excellent overall balance, and so very drinkable. Enjoy immediately and over the next five years.

Winemaking
The whole bunches were de-stalked, hand sorted and crushed into stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place at 28 degrees C with pump overs for 6 days and a further 5 days maceration followed by 100% malo-lactic fermentation and pressing into 30% new French barriques where ageing was for 20 months before bottling.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Mushroom risotto, rich pastas and grilled meats.
