Malolactic fermentation took place naturally in tanks and in barrels. 30% of the wine remained in French and American oak barrels for 6 months..

Tasting Note:
Gorgeous, deep purple colour packed with ripe, plummy, fruit flavours. Soft and voluptuous with warm layers of fruit and smooth chocolate backed by supple tannins all add up to a very drinkable wine. Well made style with a full round finish. Great value.
