PALATE
The palate has juicy red cherries, cranberry with undertones of savoury spice & tar, dried herbs and red liquorice.
VINTAGE
A fantastic growing season with great quality fruit. Above average rainfall in 2021 saw Pyrenees vineyards producing superb fruit with strong yields.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was harvested in early April and was destemmed and vinified in open fermenters with hand plunging. Separated in three batches, each was macerated on skins for 20 days, 2 months & 3 months respectively to build texture & tannin before pressing off for the final blend.The wine was then racked to barrel for a further 12 months maturation in predominantly seasoned French oak puncheons.
