    Tasting notes

    In 1996, and as a result of a government sponsored research experiment, the Estate planted Petit Verdot grapes, a variety best known for its blending qualities in the Bordeaux region of France. From the very beginning the vineyard proved capable of producing top quality grapes and an interesting wine, characterised by a deep and intense ruby red colour. The nose is dominated by fragrant herbal notes which, with age, provide hints of tobacco, coffee and leather. The wine releases powerful tannins and it goes well with soft cheeses and pork.

    Vinification

    To the destemming and pressing of the grapes,fermentation with maceration follows at controlled temperature (22-24°C) for a period of 15 days.

    Aging in the cellar

    After malolactic fermentation the wine ages in stainless steel barrels for 12 months.
