NOSE
Complex aromas of dark fruits, satsuma plum and sweet savoury spice.

A smooth and subtle palate with juicy plum and redcurrant flavours, supported by soft, velvety tannins.
FOOD PAIRING
Perfect with a wood-fired pepperoni pizza think crisp, charred crust, rich tomato sauce, spicy pepperoni, and bubbling mozzarella, all beautifully complemented by the wine’s juicy fruit and soft tannins.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was selectively harvested and pumped into the fermenter with many whole berries intact. The cool temperature of the fruit allowed for a slow start to fermentation. Once inoculated, the ferments were pumped over and plunged twice daily, with the temperature maintained around 25°C to prevent over extraction of tannins from the skins. The wine was then transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation, allowing for a soft integration of grape and oak tannins. After the desired period of barrel maturation, the wine was fined and then bottled.
