Alluring plush black fruits, earthy notes and pencil shavings followed by a layered complexity. The smooth, silky texture sustains spice, tea leaf nuances and dark chocolate.
This multi-dimensional wine would provide the ultimate pairing with beef sirloin combined with roasted beetroot. The silky tannins would also combine well with lean game meats in dishes that are not overtly spicy but rather aromatic in nature.
Fermented in stainless steel tanks with extended skin contact. Malolactic fermentation also occurred in concrete tanks.
The grapes were hand-picked from beginning February to end March 2017.
