Tasting note

Greeted by a lively cherry red hue, it reveals ripe red fruits. Raspberry and red cherry take the lead, alongside pink peppercorn, rose petal, and chocolate mint notes. The palate unveils raspberry and cherry cola, embraced by supple Grenache tannins. A harmonious finish with balanced acidity and a touch of dusty tannins

Viticulture

A warm dry growing season, followed by 60mm in January and one of the coolest Febuary’s on record resulted in small crop levels and a high concentration of flavour. Gentle cap management using compressed air to protect aromatic qualities of the wine.

Vinification

The high natural acid and fruit concentration has shaped the style of this wine into one that is light, bright and juicy; with 6 months in old French barriques, this wine is perfect for early drinking.

Food Match

Enjoy it upon release with Char Siu Roast Pork.
