Winemaker Darryl Catlin carefully selects the best parcels of fruit from the vineyard tasting the flavours to determine when the fruit is at perfect ripeness. Selected bunches are then carefully picked in the early morning to keep the fruit cool. Berries? are sorted at the winery, 70 -75% are gently pressed and 25-30% of the fruit is

added whole in to open topped fermentation tanks for a partial

carbonic maceration. Careful attention is spent on temperature control. Once ferment is completed it was then matured in 35% new and older French Oak barriques. Deep plum in colour with a vibrant ruby hue. This complex and elegant wine has lifted aromas of rich dark fruits, violets and toasted cinnamon tantalises the senses and rewards with a luscious full mid-palate showing blackberries, blackcurrants and fresh dates in abundance. This complex and elegant wine has a long lingering finish with hints of licorice and cocoa bean.
