The result is a wine that is dark crimson red in colour with aromas of concentrated plum, clove, dark coffee and chocolate. It hits the mouth with ripe plum and blackberry sweetness and finishes long and stylishly. This wine will continue to improve in the long term.

All parcels of fruit were fermented separately in either eight tonne open fermenter or six tonne static potter fermenters. Indigenous or ‘wild’ yeasts naturally present on the grape skins were allowed to initiate the fermentation. Cultured winery yeasts were then added to complete the fermentation. These ‘wild’ ferments have helped contribute to the individual complexities of the wine, creating richness and fine textures.
