Background

Tasting notes

The character is expectedly somewhat “wild” a little brambly with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and dark spices, with vanilla scents and a distinct, concentrated red-fruit focus. Great for laying down and keeping for at least ten years but already rewarding if allowed to breathe in a decanter.

Winemaking

Low yields with small, concentrated berries resulted in a limited production of a little over 1500 bottles. Almost 3 years of barrel ageing before making up the final blend, only to bottle the wine and allow it an additional 2 years of bottle age. A very concentrated, focused blend with layers of deep fruit.

Food pairings

Pairs well with lamb or venison steaks.
