Appearance
Pale garnet with bright ruby hues.
Aroma
Delicate aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rosehip, red liquorice, bergamot, tarragon, dried fig and tea leaf.
Palate
A complex and layered palate of red berries, plum and cherry is framed by lingering notes of rose petal, nutmeg and crushed dried herbs, balanced by minerality, refined tannins and fresh acidity for a long finish.
Maturation
Fermented on skins for 5 months and matured in 100% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 11 months prior to blending and bottling.
Vintage notes
Average winter rains were followed by even budburst, with buds showing good fruitfulness. Frost damage was significant in mid-October and early November, reducing the flowerheads in the later-bursting varieties. Otherwise, spring was cloudy with good rains pre-flowering, followed by short bursts of hot weather in late November. Flowering was mostly early, occurring from mid-November onwards, with riesling showing the most consistent fruit set. The late-flowering varieties were impacted by heat at the end of November and showed some coulure in the bunches. Strong winds on 5 December 2020 damaged the canopies, but the slightly battered crop remained disease free. January was dry, with a burst of heat prior to a perfectly timed rain event at veraison in early February.
