Appearance
Deep purple with crimson hues
Bouquet
Sweet fragrant aromas of blackberries with underlying mint and hints of oak
Palate
A generous wine that shows vibrant fruit on the rich palate with soft mouth-coating tannins
Vintage Conditions
Drought conditions led to an earlier vintage than previous years. Dry weather and warm sunny days with low crop levels have created wines with great flavour intensity.
Winemaking
Fruit was selected by the winemaker and picked when both flavour and Baumé were optimum. The Cabernet portion spent 7 days on skins at 27° - 30°c. The Merlot component spent 5-7 days on skins at 20° - 24 °c.. A combination of French and American oak was used.
