Ruby red appearance. Aromas of spice and poached fruits. Finely structured with a soft underlying bed of plum, dark fruit characters and hints of vanilla. The finish is long, textured and savoury.

2022 was another low yielding year producing small, lightweight bunches. The cool and dry finish to the ripening season meant healthy fruit with excellent concentration and a lovely balance of sugar and acid.

Fully destemmed into large stainless-steel tanks. The must was cooled prior to the beginning of fermentation and then allowed to climb natural to 30C. Minimal handling
throughout the fermentation gives us a more refined and balanced wine. After 14 days maceration on skins the resulting wine was pressed and moved to seasoned oak for a period of 6 months. A small addition of sulphur dioxide was made prior to bottling.
