Tasting notes
On the nose, red fruit and slightly vanilla-tinged spices. A lively attack with lovely spicy notes against a backdrop of very ripe fruit (blackcurrant). The finish features notes of liquorice.
Winemaking: Alcoholic fermentation in vats. Cold pre-fermentation maceration. A long vatting period of 41 days. Harvested in September when the grapes had reached phenolic ripeness. • Serving temperature: 16–17°C • Selected from the estate’s finest plots. Deliberately aged in 300- and 400-litre barrels to preserve the wine’s body. Best enjoyed from 2022 onwards. Decork 2 hours before serving or decant.
