Description
Intensely burgundy in the glass. An elegantly nose of dark plum and berries, salty liquorice, baking spices and pepper. The palate has gravitas with rich layers of dark fruit, charcuterie and dried olives. A full and well-rounded mouthfeel with firm, powdery tannins. The structure promises good ageing potential of 5 – 8 years.
This dryland farmed vineyard was planted in 1995, on a deep Glenrosa soil type that retains moisture well and allows the crop to ripen early, without stressing, during our long hot summers. Planted on a north-westerly facing rocky outcrop, the vines are pruned in a goblet (bosstok) . Depending on the growth, the vine is pruned to between 3 and 5 bearers per vine. Summer canopy management includes a topping, which will reduce wind damage, as well as green cropping at 80% veraison to ensure even ripening. The vineyard is regularly visited during the ripening period and tested by tasting, visual and analytical examination to determine the ideal picking date.
