Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic conversion to soften the palate. 8% of the wine was aged in new French oak barrels for eight months.
Inviting aromas of wild berry, spice and toasty notes prelude a beautifully balanced palate with smoky ripe flavours of plum and earthy undertones. Pure and elegant on the finish
