The high-altitude vineyards deliver vibrancy and fine tannins, while the valley floor contributes richness and dark fruit concentration. The 2022 vintage is already considered outstanding—ideal conditions with moderate temperatures and long ripening gave rise to Shiraz of exceptional colour, purity, and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1029\"\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eThe grapes were hand-picked, destemmed, and fermented in open-top fermenters with gentle plunging and pump-overs to preserve fruit purity and integrate tannins. Post-fermentation, the wine was matured in French oak hogsheads (part new) for 18 months, creating harmony between fruit richness and oak complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1371\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1779\"\u003eA striking deep crimson in the glass. The nose reveals plum, blackberry, and mulberry, layered with notes of anise, black pepper, and mocha, alongside subtle cedar and clove from oak maturation. The palate is powerful yet polished, showing dense black fruits framed by firm, velvety tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long, savoury, and complex, promising decades of graceful cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1799\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1956\"\u003ePerfect with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, roasted game meats, venison pie, or prime rib.
