Energetic, savoury and red fruited. Matured in French oak barriques (20% new) for a period of 12 months with 15% whole bunch inclusion. Red to dark red core with black toned edges and a bright red hue. Fragrant violet led scents of red cherry and winter strawberry fill the nostrils followed by hints of stalky cedar, fresh herbs, forest floor and spice. Delicious red cherry, winter strawberry, cranberry and rhubarb fruits are underpinned by fresh acidity which imparts an energetic feel. Following through the rear are flashes of sour cherry, delicate fresh herb infusions, stalky cedar and spice. Fine, polished tannins with a vibrant, savoury red fruited finish that’s all elegance. Drink over the next 6-8 years. Alc. 13.5%
