Why To Buy
Technical Notes
The Fruit Was Selected From A Single Block We Call The Trophy Block Due Its Long History Of Producing High Quality Fruit. We Picked At Optimum Ripeness And Transported To The Winery And Immediately Crushed. Following On From This We Fermented The Wine In French Oak Using Selected Yeast Strains. The Wine Was Aged With The Same Oak For 3 Months. The Wine Was Blended And Then Bottled To Preserve Fruit Concentration Once The Optimum Oak Content Was Achieved.
Tasting Notes
Saturated Gold To Straw. Aromatically Brilliant With Wonderful Varietal Definition And Regionality With Natural Fruit And Measured Oak Complexity. The Palate Is Medium Bodied In Its Youth With Balanced Flavours Of Melon, Papaya, Peach And Apple Whilst Some Lovely Interwoven Notes Of Nutty Smoky Oak From French Oak Influence. Will Drink Well Now Although Will Age Well And Develop More Complexity Over The Next 4 Years At Least.
