Picked at optimum ripeness then cold soaked on skins to extract maximum fruit aromas and gentle tannins. Standard fermentation for 7-10 days and then to 2-5-year-old French and American oak. Five months in oak followed by bottling.

Tasting Notes

This is all kinds of delicious. Ripe blackberry and cedar-boxy goodness on the nose. The palate follows with ribena jubey-ness with hints of spicy clove framed by soft graphite-like tannins. Intense, fleshy, and yet elegant, this has all the hallmarks of great Limestone Coast booze. Fragrant, blackcurrant and supple.
