Description
| Area/Origin: | Coastal |
| Viticulture: | Vine age: 9 years. The vineyards achieved top viticulture honours in 2007, winning a gold medal in the Vinpro Block Evaluation competition . |
| Vinification: | Grapes were whole-bunch selected and hand harvested into 20 kg boxes at 24.2ºB. Further bunch selection took place before crushing and de-stemming. Fermentation occurred in 500 kg open-top fermenters using only wild yeast, with punch-downs by hand six times per day for maximum extraction. Fermented grapes were manually loaded to avoid unnecessary pumping. Grapes were moderately pressed and moved to new French oak barrels for 18 months. No filtration took place, and the wine was bottled by hand. |
| Maturation: | 15 months in 225-litre brand new French barrels. Three different coopers were used. |
| Production: | 840 bottles |
| Tasting Notes: | Deep ruby red colour with inviting warm aromas of vanilla mixed with spice and red current fruit. This full-bodied wine provides a rounded mouth-feel with elegant, rich flavours and soft, integrated tannins. This wine portrays the true character of the carefully selected vineyard site. |
| Bottle Maturation: | Drink now or over the next 8 years. |
| Analysis: | Alcohol: 14,5 - Total Acid: 6.1g/l - Residual Sugar: 3.03g/l - pH: 3.45 |
