This is a medium-bodied blended red wine with an expressive nose and a soft, lush mouth-feel. Syrah gives ripe plum and dark fruit notes on the nose and palate. Mourvedre adds complexity with savoury leather and spice aromas. Grenache softens the palate, adding floral notes and together with the Syrah forms the backbone of the blend. Cinsault gives red fruit notes and a soft, lush mouth-feel to the final blend. Overall, the wine shows depth and finesse, but with gentle tannins.
WINEMAKING Grapes were hand-harvested and fermented over a 7-day period in stainless-steel tanks. All components were lightly wooded in older casks for a softer mouthfeel. The wine was made in a delicate but fruit-forward style. Fining and filtration was done prior to bottling
