Product Description

WINERY INFORMATION

Vintage 2015 produced exceptionally balanced fruit with terrific acidity and depth of flavour. A blessed vintage, the best ‘odd year’ in our part of the world since 2005.The significant rain that fell during the previous harvest ensured good water storages leading into the 2015 season.  Welcome winter rain in June (55mm) and July (83mm) also attributed to good soil moisture for the beginning of the 2015 growing season. Bud break began on 10 September. Spring was very dry with low disease pressure. We experienced excellent flowering, fruit-set and perfect canopy growth for the anticipated warm months ahead. The dry growing season conditions continued throughout summer helping to alleviate the threat of any disease. Veraison was slow this season, however, a warmer February saw desired fruit maturity coming on quickly after full veraison.  Berry size was smaller and fruit concentration excellent. Once again the vineyard was entirely hand picked with each parcel of fruit carefully selected.  Harvest started on  15  February and finished on  13  March with Grenache.

TASTING NOTES

Beautiful, fine perfume with layers of red and black fruits. The wine is exceptionally poised with characteristic floral notes, tar, gun flint and excellent balance and concentration. The palate is seamless,  elegant and plush, loaded with fruit texture and beautifully ripe tannins.
