Without a doubt, one of the best reds from the 2013 Vintage, as the combination of low yields and late picking has produced a full-bodied red that pushes 15% alcohol, with a concentrated mid-palate and fabulous length. Quintessential Franc with roasted red pepper, cassis, black raspberry, violets, smoke, black olives and graphite. Drink until 2022.
Organically grown, concrete-aged and fermented Syrah sports upfront lifted aromas of red berries and spice notes before a medium-bodied, silky palate supported by supple tannins, dark cherry, cassis, mocha and black pepper with a fresh, clean finish.
Opens with intense cherry scents, a whiff of cinnamon with clove and green herbal notes. Soft cherry flavours come with moderate tannins and still-youthful acidity. Will benefit from another 1–2 years in the cellar.
Fruit from the Black Sage and Golden Mile benches, fermented and aged in concrete for 9 months. Distinct varietal nose with vibrant red berries over a hint of herbaceousness, opening to a palate of bright redcurrant and cherry wrapped in approachable tannins and juicy acidity, with some peppery notes before a silky finish.
Displays thick notes of black cherries, blackcurrants, wild berries, expressive barrel spices and melted dark chocolate on the nose. The dark, concentrated cherry fruit dominates on the palate with supporting roles from blackcurrants, anise and elegant spice notes fortified by ripe tannins and structure.
Concrete-fermented with 4 weeks maceration before aging in large concrete tanks for 11 months. Aromas of damson and raspberry precede a luscious, vibrant palate of crushed red berries with good texture, broad mouth feel and very pure fruit flavours, buoyed by juicy acidity, through a lengthy finish.
Fermented with native yeast and aged in large concrete tanks for 11 months. Lifted red fruits, cherry and strawberry notes precede a medium-bodied palate with supple tannins and fresh-crushed berry notes over a darker, savoury background with some earthy undertones and spice notes.
