Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson red, aromas of black cherry, raspberries and Turkish delight dominate and complement with a licorice, spicy
undertone. A medium-bodied wine with strong, upfront dark blue fruits, generous mid-palate and with silky, chalky tannins on the finish.
Vineyard Notes
Overall, 2022 was one the coolest ripening periods with very good spring rains and a cooler summer. This allowed
for slow flavour enhancement. Good subsoil moisture allowed the fruit to grow in perfect condition with no drying out of berries.
Winemaker Notes
This fruit was handpicked with 10% of whole bunches added to the ferment to enhance the complexity
and texture of the wine. After 9 days of fermentation the fruit was pressed with half remaining in stainless steel tank and the other half going to 2-4 year old French hogshead for 9 months of maturation. Careful selection and blending occurred just prior to bottling.
Food Pairing Notes
Asian slow-braised beef. Roasted pork belly polpette with polenta tomato sauce.
