Deep red in colour with a hint of purple. Red cherry and raspberry notes are interspersed with savoury and smoky scents. Full bodied and supported by velvety tannins the wine finishes off with a sweet red berry taste which is nicely balanced out by the acidity.

It was expected at this early stage that the 2019 grape crop will return to normal levels thanks to good rainfall hot on the heels of a three year-long drought. The size and quality of the 2019 grape crop was further influenced by weather conditions in the flowering period leading up to harvest, together with the vineyards’ ability to recover from the drought. We experienced good cold conditions during the winter and rainfall was higher than previous year. Spring has set in earlier, and the vines initially started to bud earlier than normal. In September, temperature fluctuations delayed vine growth however, and in certain cultivars resulted in late and uneven bud burst. By the end of September, temperatures rose again with subsequent good vine growth.
