Handpicked on the 31st March 8th and 9th April Each clone was smallbatch vinified with a small percentage of the whole cluster per ferment Cold Soaked for up to 7 days before indigenous yeast fermentation kicked in Gentle plunging each day followed by post maceration of up to 9 days to ensure optimum fruit and tannin balance Total time on the skin 1924 days Drained directly into selected French oak barriques 28 new where the wine aged for 12 months during which wild malolactic fermentation occurs
The winemaking was very much in keeping with the traditional practices of the Old World The winemaker Rudi Bauer has combined these techniques and his own personal understanding to create this wine
Tasting Notes
Aromas of deep black Doris plum and dark cherry Rich on the palate with blackcurrant plum forest floor notes and subtle spice An elegant wine with classy tannins and a long vibrant finish
