Made up from 2 vineyards, one on a Northly Facing slope

and the other on a South-Easterly slope, each component

was harvested separately, de-stemmed and hand sorted

into tank. The wines spent between 14 and 21 days on the

skins, depending on their tannin structure with two to

three pump overs per day. Once the fermentation is

completed the wines are pressed to undergo malolactic

fermentation in barrel and tank. After completion, the wine

was racked to French oak barrels (38% new oak, 33%

second fill, 20% third and 9% forth fill) for a period of 22

months. Components are blended and allowed to clarify

naturally before filtration and bottling in May 2022.

89 | Coffee grounds and leafy tobacco. Firm sinewy tannins. OK, but could use more fruit to achieve good balance.

92 | Colour seems quite developed for age. Sweetly fruited, quite savoury style of wine. Not particularly concentrated and just falls away a little on the finish.

89 | a little lean with a hint of green. red fruited profile to match the smaller frame, a balanced fresh mouthfeel brings me back for another sip. honest.

90 | Good balance though not at all mesmerising.
