About the winery


This vineyard was planted in 1995 on an old apricot plantation which we expelled from Roennfeldt Road property at Marananga close to Greenock. The vines crop at 1.2 to 1.5 tons every sections of land from the short rows, and 1.5 to 2.0 tons every section of land on the long lines. The grapes are picked and kept separate to deliver a solitary bequest wine. Similarly as with all our grapes they are singled out phenological ripeness and flavour at a baume scope of 14 to 16º. This baume infrequently delivers a naturally happening high liquor, despite the fact that this will rely on occasional conditions.
The grapes are aged in large, shallow open masonary fermenters, pumped over, chilled and squeezed through a crate press. It is then racked into barrels to experience common MLF, keeping the free run and pressings separate to be mixed back together preceding packaging. The wine is pumped into prepared American hogsheads with a little rate going into new oak barrels. It is then left to develop for approx. 27 months, and is generally not sifted or fined before packaging.

About the wine


It has a profound garnet-purple shading and extreme blackberry preserve, Chinese dried plum and mulberry fragrances with supporting notes of licorice, vanilla case, tar, cinnamon stick and dried leaves. Full-bodied and extremely fresh (somewhat incoherent) in the mouth, it gives a firm level of coarse textured, marginally astringent tannins and a lot of delicious, to some degree over-ready fruit prompting a long warm and spicy completion.
