It has been noted as one of the best growing seasons in recent years, with a wet winter allowing the vines to produce a healthy canopy, and mild temperatures and periodic rain providing good growing conditions. Very little heat stress was experienced across the growing regions. A cool and dry summer sustained even ripening and allowed viticulturists and winemakers to harvest grapes at their optimum fruit expression.

Harvested at optimal ripeness, fruit is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Free-running wine was separated from the pressings resulting in a soft, round, medium body wine.
COLOUR
Vibrant red hues with great depth and clarity.
NOSE
Blueberry and dark fruits with vanilla and toast notes.
PALATE
Expressive and supple with generous fruit and velvety fine tannins. Fresh fruit characters are supported by integrated oak.
