REMOVING PLASTIC FROM OUR OCEANS

For each case sold, we will remove the equivalent of 60 (1 kilogram) plastic bottles from our ocean and recycle them.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

Good winter rains and a warm spring resulted in a fantastic start to vintage. A series of very warm weather events put pressure on the early growing season, but the well managed vineyards made it through. A vintage of two halves; the first half of heat waves put pressure on winemakers and viticulturists alike, the second half allowed fruit to be picked at the optimum flavour ripeness.

WINEMAKING

Fermented over 10-12 days in stainless steel at cooler temperatures
to retain fruit vibrancy and plushness, aged on a generous helping of American
and French Oak.

COLOUR

Intense, vibrant magenta.

AROMA

Lashings of raspberry cola, violets and spicy gingerbread oak.

PALATE

Mouth watering, juicy red fruits coupled with vanilla-bourbon oak and a
voluptuous, velvety tannin structure.
