Winemaking Notes
This wine displays lovely red and purple tones in the glass. Dark plums, spice and purple forals on the nose.
The palate enters with black plum, black cherries with brambles and compote detailed with spice and elegance.
A wine of refrained structure and integrated tannin, dark spice and black berries to finish
Made using the ‘Jim Barry’ method and as such can be enjoyed upon release, but would equally benefit from cellaring to allow the wine to show some mature characteristics that come with age.
