Production
Harvested as a single batch on the 23rd of March. Crushed and de-stemmed, followed by twice daily pumpovers for 8 days, then one pumpover per day to wet the cap until pressing 42 days later. The additional time on skins allows the softening and integration of tannins. Malolactic fermentation took place in seasoned oak and stainless steel tanks.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby red with purple hues, aromas of raspberries, cherries and subtle notes of cinnamon spice. On the palate bright red berries and cherries dominate, with a hint of cinnamon. Fine grain tannins fashion a smooth palate, while adding length and texture, creating a bright and opulent mouth feel.
Food match
This classic Italian grape variety thrives in the warm soils of McLaren Vale, perfect with any rustic Italian dish - spaghetti bolognese or lasagne, but also terrific served with sourdough pizzas.
