After a temperature controlled ferment of twelve days the wine was filtered and bottled.
Colour – a captive deep pink with bright magenta hues.
Aroma – lifted nuances of strawberries an glazed cherries with a hint of sugar and spice.
Palate – Initial fruit sweetness with berry fruit flavours that follow through with good acid and soft fine tannins, all integrated to deliver a crisp dry finish with length and depth.
