  Winemaking
  
  Nine small, separate blocks of estate grown fruit harvested over a period of two weeks were selected for this vintage.The components were matured in twenty percent new French oak for 14 months, the result being a wine of complexity through vineyard expression and time in oak.
  
  Vintage
  
  Excellent growing conditions during spring led to healthy canopies and set the vineyard up beautifully for the rest of the season.A mild, yet very dry ripening season resulted in pristine fruit quality with an abundance of flavour intensity.
  
  Colour
  
  Vibrant deep crimson with ruby hues.
  
  Nose
  
  Fragrant cassis and crushed fresh herbs interwoven with subtle layers of dusty, earthy notes.
  
  Palate
  
  Up front cassis flavours continue on the complex palate with rich, dark chocolate mingling with the smooth and silky tannin structure.
  
  Cellaring
  
  Ready to enjoy now, although will gain complexity over the next five to eight years with careful cellaring.
  
  Alcohol
  
  14.0%
