Winemaking Process: Fermentation in stainless steel vats with temperature control. Then 12 months resting in French & American oak barrels. Tasting notes: Bright vivacious ruby in colour. Fabulous aromatic expression of ripe cherry, balsamic & fig syrup with hints of cacao & sweet spices such as cinnamon. Juicy with a smooth texture, balanced mouthfeel with bright acidity. Good tannic structure. Plenty of ripe, red fruit with a touch of pepper & herb right on the mid palate. Develops to a warm spice & chocolate finish. It is a great wine now with aging potential for the next 6 years. Proud to get 90 Points on the Wine Enthusiast award in 2022. Food Pairings: It pairs perfectly with red meat roasts such as lamb, beef, with salty cheeses, bean chilli, paprika/smoky stews or pastas. Serving Temperature: 16-18°C
