ageing : Colour – Deep vibrant opaque.
Aroma – Floral aromas give the initial impression, infused with sweet vanilla and subtle hints of spice.
Palate – Dark chocolate flavours are most prevalent with a well structured, yet elegant palate. The tannins are beautifully integrated with the oak character ensuring a lengthy finish.

in the vineyard : The soil is a mixture of weathered granite and a small percentage of clay, Clovelly and Hutton structure. Deep and red in colour, the soil shows good water retention, allowing for only moderate vine stress during dry years. Soil moisture is carefully monitored and supplemented by drip irrigation in very dry years only.
