Aroma: Liquorice root, fennel seed and ground spice precede blackberries, and bramble leaf on the rich, inviting nose.

Description

Each Varietal was harvested separately at varying stages. Grenache and Syrah were whole-bunch fermented while Cinsault and Petit Syrah were crushed and destemmed. Each batch was fermented separately in open top fermenters with wild/natural yeast. A short post fermentation maceration occurred before the wine was then pressed and transferred to 500 litre and 300 lite barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine spent a further 8 months in barrel before final blending and bottling.
