"Vibrant aromatics of bright redcurrant, crushed raspberry, guava and spicy ripe mango characters give way to an elegantly textured mouthfeel showing schist minerality and red tropical fruit , with a freshly driven finish and flow.
Destemmed and steeped on skins for 3-4 days for aromatics and colour extraction before being lightly pressed in to a stainless steel vessel for 55% of the ferment – and older French barriques for the remaining 45%. An indigenous yeast fermentation took approximately 6-8 weeks at 16-22 degrees celcius. The wine then rested on fine lees for 3 months before being combined together. There was no malolactic fermentation undertaken. Finally, the wine was filtered just prior to bottling for clarity, brightness and balance. The sub-regional vineyard composition is 57% Bannockburn and 43% Alexandra."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2023 Vintage)
"Certified organic, the very youthful 2023 vintage was estate-grown and hand-harvested at Bannockburn (57 per cent) and Alexandra (43 per cent), and handled in a mix of tanks (55 per cent) and seasoned French oak barriques (45 per cent). Bright pink/light red, it is a distinctive wine, fresh and vibrant, with rich, cherryish flavours, lively acidity and a dry (2-3 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish. Still unfolding, it is vigorous and finely balanced, offering top drinking during 2024."
