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

Jammy dark natural fruit on the nose is joined by rather extreme dark pepper, leather, wood zest, and amusement fragrances making this both complex and rather wild. In the mouth it is rich, capable, and adjusted with a few conspicuous oak tannins making their vicinity known even through the masses of concentrated fruit. The fruit demonstrates an extremely pleasant fiery red and dark profile with a touch of iron and some flavor notes including accents, especially on the tolerably long wrap up. This is a vast scale wine and the offset is a bit on the rustic side.
