Tasting Notes
Deep red with purple hues |
|
Ripe raspberries, forest fruits and fragrant floral notes laced with hints of peppercorn and ‘cap-gun / fireworks’ characters, derived from barrel ferment. |
|
A medium to full-bodied generous wine with plenty of inky fruits; Blackberries, redcurrants and spice. The jubey fruits and approachable tannins combine to produce a moreish wine, supple in structure with a wonderful persistence of flavour. |

There were three core components to the blend, each made using quite different winemaking techniques to bring a mixture of purity of fruit, whole bunch fragrance and barrel ferment texture to the final blend. A third of the blend was destemmed and then crushed with open rollers before being pressed early and barrel fermented in 50% new French oak barriques, before maturation in a large format, old oak foudre. A third was fermented with 30% whole bunches included in the ferment before gentle extraction and pressing (this was also matured in a large format foudre). The final third was treated more ‘conventionally’. The fruit was destemmed and then crushed with open rollers to introduce whole berries into the ferment which was carried out in static fermenters at 25oC for 6 days. This also included the inclusion of a small about of Viognier for co-fermentation. The batch was then matured in French oak barriques (30% new) after pressing. The total maturation time in oak for all wines was 14 months. |
