A rich dark ruby coloured wine invites you to a nose full of black cherries and mulberries from the Merlot. The Cab Franc provides and herbaceous notes like eucalyptus. These enticing flavours follow through onto the supple palate with dark chocolate flavours and a smooth lingering finish.

The grapes were received during the early morning hours. Crushing and de-stemming commenced, and the mash was pumped to separate fermentation tanks. We did 3 days of cold maceration. Yeast was then added so that fermentation could start. Fermentation temperature was held between 28-30°C. Aerated pump-overs were performed 4 times per day with moving the volume of the tank once with every pump-over. Fermentation lasted 10-14 days. A Bucher Pneumatic press was used, and the first press-wine went with the free-run and the hard press-wine was kept aside and treated separately. Malolactic fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks.
