Appearance:

Nose:
(bonfire), blackBerry, blackcurrant, floral (violette), spice and liquorice with bright berry aromas

full flavoured with a combination of ripe, dark fruits and hints of allspice, cloves and a savoury, long finish.
Sommelier's advice: Recommended food pairing: red meat with truffles, roasted pigeon. Serving temperature: 15-16°C. Ageing potential: more than 8 years.
Grape variety/varieties:
Grenache, Shiraz, Touriga Nacional.
Harvest:
Handpicked in late March, with the Grenache in early April, at optimal ripeness in the early morning to retain the natural freshness within the grapes.
Soil:
A mixture of clay, siltstone, quartz and shale on a deep, iron rich subsoil requiring minimal irrigation
Vinification:
The fruit was destemmed and transferred into a concrete steel tank where it was kept cool until fermentation started naturally. A 4-5 week maceration allowed for maximum colour and the tannins to soften.
Ageing:
The Grenache was aged in concrete tanks for 12 months. The Touriga Nacional and Shiraz were matured in a combination of new and old oak for 12 months. At the completion of the maturation the blend was assembled to enhance complexity.
