Production

Selected grapes and cuvees from individual co-operatives and estates. Perfectly ripe grapes, hand-picked and fermented at lower temperatures than most reds to preserve primary fruit characters. The wine receives twice daily remontage to extract colour and tannins. Meticulous blending to produce the ultimate approachable and fruit-driven style. Bottled early to capture vibrant red fruit.

Tasting notes

Deep garnet colour with vibrant plummy and blackberry fruit that fills the mouth. Soft and supple on the palate with good intensity of fruit and a lovely juicy finish.

Food match

Soft and pliable red capable of matching with most foods. Easy choice for a devout red drinker. You could try with pasta with chicken, tomatoes or smoked bacon. Also great with pizza, sausages and most barbecued food.
