The fruit was hand harvested on 23 March 2021 and immediately transported to the winery where it was de-stemmed to stainless steel fermenter and cold soaked for 3 days. The fermentation took place for 10 days with pump overs taking place twice a day. Following this, it was gently pressed off and transferred to French oak barriques and puncheons. After 14 months of maturation the wine was blended and bottled on 11 November 2022. 

Mid to deep crimson garnet with a slight purple edge. Cassis and black currants greet the nose. Hints of leafy herbs, cedar and cigar box add a layer of complexity to the dark berry fruit. Subtle smoky notes round out the classic cool climate Cabernet intensity of this wine. Dark mulberry and dark chocolate drive the flavour with a silky tannin texture from the Merlot tempering the force of the Cabernet. Long and supple yet fine boned enough to be classic luncheon claret in style.
