Winemaking Notes
The Grapes were picked from block 13 which rests in a relatively exposed area of the farm with sweeping South Easterly winds creating shorter canopies and smaller, more concentrated fruit. Block 13 is situated 130m above sea level on a Tukulu dominant soils with small fractions of the Glenrosa soil type. Glenrosa has inherently lower fertility also affecting the canopy height and influencing fruit concentration.
Tasting Notes
An expressive aromatic delivery of redcurrants and violets with white pepper and notes of dried coriander. This wine showcases its carbonic component which adds an element of playful candified fruit while softening the tannins for easy drinkability. Generous oak aging in larger format barrels allows the vineyard character to shine, with great natural acidity and a silky long-lasting finish. Already drinking well. Best drunk now and until 2029.
