| Tasting Notes | Dark red/purple colour. Good example of a fruit forward Shiraz style. On the nose there are aromas of bilberry, blackberry and violet with a hint of truffle. Wine also shows typical pepper spiciness. The wine has very soft round entry. Raspberry and blackberry flavours with a good savoury olive tapenade finish. There are also hints of rosemary and lavender |
| Vinification | Grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness. Careful soft extraction is done during fermentation to allow for a softer more rounded wine. Delicate use of wood ensures more complexity without overpowering the fruity aromas. 10% Mourvedre adds elegance and savoury elements to the blend. |
