Winemakers Notes
Fermentation of this wine took place in small batches using manual push down of the cap as well as pumping over. After pressing, the different batches were matured in French and American oak barriques for 12 months prior to blending and bottling. We have created a fruit driven red wine with good depth of palate and structure. Very little fining was done to allow the wine to age well.
Food Match
Ideal with lighter red meat dishes and pork, or drink on its own with cheeses.
