VINTAGE CONDITIONS

Winter started later and was warmer than normal but rainfall was good during the season. Above average temperatures in July resulted in uneven bud break and smaller berries on certain cultivars. Temperature fluctuations in September and October resulted in uneven bunches however weather conditions improved in November. A warmer February resulted in earlier harvesting of certain cultivars. Rain and cool conditions in March slowed down ripening of red wine varietals, which resulted in a later harvest at relatively lower sugar levels.

MATURATION: 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% new
OPTIMUM SERVING TEMPERATURE: 17 – 18 °C

TASTING NOTES
COLOUR Violet red
NOSE: Intense and precise with dark chocolate cacao and red fruit aromas, a hintof pencil shavings, slightly savoury, with a hint of violet floral notes shining through the fruit as it opens up.
PALATE: There’s a juicy red fruit core with flavour bursts of cherry and raspberry and some savoury and floral notes witha finish of fresh herbal tobacco leaf. The elegance of the tannins is seductive – fine, balanced and silky. A wine of vibrancy and minerality showcasing the perfect balance between grace and power.
