Description
PRODUCTION
Fruit was crushed to fermenter and inoculated with specially developed, aromatic yeast to intensify varietal character. A week long, warm fermentation was undertaken and carefully mixed each day for colour. After fermentation was complete the wine remained a further 2-3 weeks on skins before a further tank maturation.
TASTING NOTES
Soft, rich and velvety with excellent structure, fresh plum and forest fruits are beautifully balanced with hints of sweet spice and savoury notes.
