Vinification
Hand picked from low yielding vines at our Mappinga Road and Charleston vineyards. The grapes were chilled for 24-48 hours prior to a partial whole-bunch, whole-berry ferment, using only wild yeast. Extended maceration and maturation in 100% French Oak barrels for 10 months in a combination of 300L Hogsheads.

Tasting Notes
Complex aromas of strawberries and cream with hints of forest floor and bay leaf. A seamless and elegant palate of red fruit with enticing gamey notes of wild mushroom. Ample yet delicate tannins are supported by generous length. An outstanding accompaniment to a duck or game dishes, with a side of wild mushrooms. Drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve with careful cellaring.
