TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Vinifcation is in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 26 - 28 °C with skin contact for one week. During alcoholic fermentation, the wine is briefy pumped over the cap several times a day to encourage the transfer of colour and aroma compounds from the skins. Malolactic fermentation follows immediately. The wine then matures in oak containers for about a year. 

TASTING NOTE

Attractive ruby red fecked with hints of cherry. Opens on subtle, whistle-clean fruit fragrances of morello cherries accompanied by a hint of alcohol warmth. The palate echoes the poise, freshness and aromatic array of the nose, underpinned by enough tannic structure to ensure complexity and length. 

FOOD MATCHINGS

An excellent choice with briefy matured cold cuts and cheeses as well as red meats, particularly if charcoal-broiled.
