Winemaker’s Notes:

Colour: Deep purple red in colour with hints of ruby.

Bouquet: Aromas of dark berry fruits especially spicy plums with hints of pepper.

Palate: A full bodied palate with intense, spicy plum flavours and chalky tannins. The flavour of cherries leads to a generous yet soft mid palate which compliments the obvious fruit length and sweetness.

Cellaring Potential: Drink now while the fruit flavours are full and voluptuous.

Winemaking Details: Early January rain caused some initial concern in the vintage lead up although the rains soon cleared and allowed the vines to dry out before harvest began. The early rain had no impact what so ever on fruit quality and the rest of summer remained warm and dry. The weather did mean fruit flavours developed a little slower and later but the final results were excellent fruit flavour and a fine tannin structure.

Serving Suggestions: Perfect accompaniment to a roasted beef fillet, barbequed rump steak or for something a tad different try Chorizo with saffron rice! Enjoy!
