Estate grown, hand-picked and hand-made.

The grapes (a blend of 46% Nebbiolo, 15% Pinot Noir, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec, 4% Merlot and 2% Sangiovese) were hand-picked and hand selected over a sorting table prior to destemming or crushing and direct tipping into an open fermenter. The fruit was cold soaked prior to initiation of fermentation using wild yeasts. Daily foot and hand plunging was undertaken to gently extract, integrate and layer the tannins. Each component was pressed, settled overnight and then racked to barrel for 100% malolactic fermentation and aged with light lees contact for 9 months. We used 100% French oak, all used barrels of differing size formats.

A light dry red style, bright and cheery but with a brooding backbone of intent. This proper ‘sum of its parts’ wine hides a serious tannin core behind a floral garland. Lifted heady primary perfume comprises a hybrid of Nebbiolo’s tar and roses with the dark cherry/plum of Pinot Noir, underpinned by currants and herbal notes from the Bordeaux varieties. Shows the broadest spectrum of the red fruits. Abundant, profound, yet integrated tannins corral the abundance of juicy fruit flavours into a resounding finish.
