Food Matching Note:
This is the ideal wine for any main course with rich sauce, and any dish with meat, like roast beef and mature cheeses.
Tasting Note:
Spectacularly deep and dark in colour with an almost silky sheen. The nose is a complex melange of fruit, secondary aromas like tar and leather and a touch of spicy oak. This is echoed on the palate. The tannins are firm but ripe and elegant and the finish is extremely long and fine.
Vinification Note:
The grapes are manually harvested, then sorted and pressed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks, which are temperature controlled. The grapes are allowed to macerate for 20-30 days, this allows deep colours and a great depth of flavours. Once the fermentation process is complete, the wine is matured in new barrels. At this stage of vinification the wine is tasted regularly, monitoring the development of tannins imparted by the wood.
