A considerable proportion of the barrels went through malolactic fermentation. It was in barrel for 10 months.

TASTING NOTES

Beautifully floral, with peach and apricot aromas, rich spice and a hint of toasty oak on the nose.  The palate is powerful and luscious with concentrated ripe fruit and spice, juicy acidity and a hint of honeysuckle on the finish.  This wine is perfectly balanced to complement a variety of dishes and cuisines.
