VINIFICATION
The grapes were hand-picked and given a cool maceration on their skins prior to fermentation in stainless steel. The wine was then pressed and allowed to mature in French oak for ten months.
APPEARANCE
Bright, deep pinkish red.
BOUQUET
Intense aromas of cherries, raspberries and strawberries with some underlying spice.
PALATE
Full-flavoured with red berry fruits and warm French oak, but with a great balance of acidity. Lovely succulent texture and satisfying, long finish.
CELLARING
This wine can be enjoyed now but will also reward cellaring for four to five years.
SERVING TEMPERATURE
Room Temperature
FOOD ACCOMPANIMENTS
The ideal partner for a number of dishes including hot ham, roast pork and those with Moroccan flavours.
