Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 93 points - "Wonderfully composed and expressed, the wine shows blackcurrant, thyme, game, leather, and cedar characters on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and refined texture, leading to a persistent, structured finish. Harmonious and stylish with enticing complexity."
COLOUR
Clean Dark plum red of good intensity and depth. Moderate colour cling on the swirl and slow persistent tears.
NOSE
Clean developing aromas of sweet blackcurrant, mocha and mint leaf, with a soft toasted hazelnut nuance
PALATE
Clean full bodied flavours of dark cherry, ripe plum and cocoa. Evolved fine tannins across the palate with a moderate cocoa and toasty cedar finish.
WINEMAKING
The Organic Estate vineyard provides all the fruit for this wine. Large static, as well as the traditional open top fermenters, were both used to ferment on skins over a period of eight to ten days, with regular pump-overs and head plunging for maximum extraction of fruit flavours, colour and the delicate fruit tannins. The wine was then transferred into French oak hogsheads and barrel aged for 11 months.
FOOD PAIRING
Pan seared Rib-eye steak finished with butter, garlic and thyme served with green salad.
VINTAGE NOTES
Cool conditions in early spring enabled a subsequent long growing season. A warm dry summer subsided into ideal cooler autumn conditions prior to harvest.
