Description
A deeply coloured, medium-bodied, spicy red with aromas of ripe plum and black cherry. The palate combines warm, juicy red fruit flavours with savoury, lightly smoky characters, a hint of bitter chocolate and nip of tannin on the finish.
In the Vineyard

In the Winery
Traditional fermentation at 26 to 30C, between 5 and 10 days maceration, bottled young with no oak ageing.
