Tasting Notes: Gorgeous rich vanilla infused aromas. Hints of wild mushrooms and spicy farmyards. Red fruits and red bush tea leaves lead on to raspberries and cassis fruit with cigar box notes intermingling. The immaculate red fruit flavours persist on the palate while the lovely acidity keeps things fresh and clean.
Winemaking: Destemming, light crushing, cold soak - skin contact, alcoholic fermentation by indigenous flora isolated from the specific block, at gradually increasing temperatures, maintenance of wine “sur lies” for 24 months with regular stirring. 24 months in new Allie - Jupilles French oak casks, medium grain, white toasted and 12 months in bottle before release.
