The wine presents a rich, garnet colour. A herbaceous confluence of green bell pepper, paprika and white pepper creates an alluring nose before an irresistible layer of red fruit materializes filled with redcurrants and pomegranate, with a citrus-hint of grapefruit. A spectacular acidity and a fine coating of elegant tannins creates a juicy wine that will only improve with age.

The 2016 vintage was a challenging one; warm conditions from the end of October through to late January restricting vine growth, leading to reduced bunch weights. The dry conditions helped ensure excellent grape quality, with smaller berry sizes bringing concentrated flavour and colour. Judicious irrigation and soils with excellent water holding capacity ensured our vineyards avoided water stress and helped us to produce another fantastic harvest.
