Winemaker's Notes
"Colour : Bright Ruby Red. Aroma : Black currant aromas are prominent with notes of black forest cake. Palate : A delicate wine with soft juicy tannins making it very accessible on the palate. Hints of oak spice is also prevalent."
Technical Notes
"The grapes were harvested in February 2008. Fermentation on the skins took place over a period of 16-days. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels. The wine was left to mature for14 months in French oak, after which it received a light filtration prior to bottling.
