| Winemakers Notes |
Beautifully clean, mature fruit was harvested and brought into the winery where it was de-stemmed and then fermented. During the
10-day fermentation period, the fruit was plunged four times a day to help extract colour, fruit flavour and tannin. The wine then went through a full MLF and a portion was matured with oak. |
| Viticulture Notes |
|
A fantastic season. A warm February to help promote flavour and colour, finished off by stable harvest conditions. |
| Food Match |
|
Enjoy this wine with a warm lamb, green bean and beetroot salad. |

| TiZwine Accolades |
  |
| Soft and ripe fruit aromas give way to juicy fruit flavours and good richness through the palate. The tannins are as yet big and firm but these will ease in time. Should improve over time. |
