Aromas of plum, cherry, black currants, licorice, black peppercorn, and sweet spice give way to a fruit-forward palate with notes of cocoa and white pepper on the long finish.

Technical Data
Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted only as bunches in the cellar, mainly to remove any bunches that were overexposed and raisin. The grapes then go into 500L open-top French oak vats where fermentation occurs spontaneously. 50% of the bunches are left whole and the remaining 50% destemmed. The free-run wine after fermentation is then transferred into a combination of 225L and 300L French oak barriques for malolactic fermentation and maturation. The barriques used are 50% new and 50% second fill.
The wine is then racked and bottled. The wine is unfined, unfiltered and no acid adjustments are done.
