Reviews
"Destemmed into open-top vats and plunged daily for the 1st week before being left on skins for a further 19 days. Matured in French barrels, 30% new. Medium ruby. Very ripe on the nose with dark plum and blackberry fruit, as well as a little oak-derived cinnamon and nutmeg. Ripe and juicy, with subtle, fine tannins in support, this is already drinking well straight out of the gate. For short- to medium-term drinking." Phillip Rich
