Tasting note
A pretty waft of violets precedes a mouthful of red fruit and blueberries, the whole given a lift by a scattering of pepper.
Vinification
10% of the must was held cold prior to inoculation to encourage aromatic intensity. Wine was fermented at around 24C in stainless steel tanks and matured in a combination of old and new, small and large, English and French oak. One third of the wine was matured in 140 year old 5000L English oak casks.
Food Match
Wild game, especially venison and hare. Also works well with beef and lamb dishes.
