FRUIT
This vintage was one blessed with excellent conditions and the fruit ripened in perfect timing with the right pH, fruit flavour & baume.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was handpicked in the cool of the night at optimum ripeness, the grapes were crushed, pressed and then fermented on the skins for a week. The wine was matured in a combination of new Troncais French & 2 year old American Oak for 20months before blending & bottling.
CHARACTERISTICS
Ruby Red in colour, this wine displays lifted berry fruits and classic Hunter spice aromas intergrated well by savoury oak. It is a medium bodied wine with a rich fruit palate well balanced by soft tannins & savoury oak.
CUISINE
The perfect accompaniment to a BBQ
