Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A Malbec dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon providing structure and Petit Verdot adding aromatic lift, this wine bursts with aromas of mulberries compote and violets. Sweetened spices and black cherries are complemented by more savoury notes of cedar, dry herbs and mocha. The palate is voluminous yet framed by fine tannins providing length and aging potential to this deliciously fragrant wine.

Wine Making
Most of the fruit was destemmed but not crushed into concrete fermenters to retain whole berries and achieve a highly perfumed wine. Extraction was gentle and each batch spent about two to three weeks on skins. Post fermentation, each parcel was gently pressed to French oak barriques of which 35% were new. Wines were matured for 16-months before being blended and bottled in Spring 2023.
Vintage Report
A season that slowly escalated into a very hectic but also exciting harvest. A cooler and wet Spring saw vine growth delayed in development, and we were set for a late start of harvest. But then Summer came, and it was full of sunshine, dry and warm through December, January, and February with warm days and some warm nights. The red harvest started about a week after the end of the whites, giving our busy cellar team very little time to catch their breath. Yields were lower than expected across red varietals as well, however the warm and dry weather created desirable conditions for our reds that are already showcasing fantastic tannin ripeness, concentration, and vibrancy of colour.
