Tasting Notes

TASTING NOTES
A red blend of Cinsaut, Grenache, Mourvédre and Shiraz in perfect harmony! Deep, rich red colour. An explosion of juicy blackberry, raspberry and strawberry flavours on the palate, with an underlying hint of dark chocolate and all spice. This wine boasts firm, ripe tannins and a long finish.

VINIFICATION
The grapes for this delicious blend, were handpicked and transported to the cellar in small lug boxes. On arrival at the winery, the bunches underwent sorting on a vibrating table, followed by de-stemming, then further hand-sorting to remove any remaining stems. This attention to detail ensured that only the highest quality berries were lightly crushed into a satellite tank which was hoisted and opened above a stainless steel fermentation tank. Inoculation with a French yeast was made, after a three day cold soak. Fermentation was slow and gentle.
