Production
The optimally ripe bunches were given an overnight "cold-soak" to allow for colour extraction early in the winemaking process. Fermentation took place with temperatures peaking at 28ºC. The wine was pressed off the skins directly after fermentation and following malolactic fermentation, it was matured for 12 months in seasoned 500l French oak barrels.

Tasting notes
The nose has ripe plum and dark cherry fruit, complimented with subtle toffee and toasted coffee aromas. The palate is medium bodied and juicy with a smooth finish. You can savour this wine now but it has an ageing potential over the next 4 years.
Food match
Enjoy this wine with grilled yellowtail or snoek with grape jam and a farm style bread. It is also the perfect partner for a pizza or braai.
