Sourced from a single, low yielding and trellised vineyard. This wine shows forthcoming raspberry and vanilla aromas with delicate traces of fresh plums. A silky smooth entry, red berries and spice form on the palate with a touch of mocha lingering on the finish.

about the harvest: Harvest early in the morning in February 2006.

in the cellar : After early morning harvest cool grapes are brought into the cellar and then undergo skin contact/cold maceration, for 3 to 4 days to extract soft tannins and ripe fruit flavours before allowing fermentation to begin. Throughout vinification handling was kept to a minimum to ensure that true fruit flavours were retained. The wine was matured in medium toasted French Oak for 9 months.
