Brampton OVR 2009

Outspoken red berry and blackcurrant fruit aromatics complemented by white oak spice. A supple tannin structure with juicy fruit pastille and hints of liquorice is revealed on the palate with a succulent smooth finish.

Enjoy this wine socially or with steaks, BBQs and grills or mature blue veined cheese.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand picked at the end of February to March 2008.

in the cellar : Small batches of hand-picked fruit from different varietals were chosen and carefully blended to create this wine.  Primary fermentation took place on the skins for 2 to 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks. 70% underwent oak maturation in French and American barrels for 15 months to ensure complete integration of wood with fruit aromas and flavours. The balance was left unwooded.
