A complex array of caramel and oak spice with underlying dark fruits and cherry.

Winemaker Notes
Harvesting the fruit during the cool of the night preserved its freshness and quality. After gently pressing, minimal fining agents maintained the natural vibrancy and structure of the variety. The inclusion of old barrel fermentation with natural yeast strains, along with further maturation on yeast lees, created layering in this wine, resulting in subtle creaminess that balanced the great natural acidity from this vintage. Prior to bottling, blending, stabilising, and filtering enhanced the wine, producing a superb food pairing wine with good length.
