Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Hand-picked, chilled overnight, two picks 10 days apart, 70% destemmed whole berries, 30% (from the second pick) fermented as whole bunches, 2 days post-ferment maceration, matured in French puncheons (30% new) for 18 months. The bouquet is delicious, with highly perfumed spicy red berry fruits, the savoury palate elegant and fresh. Time in barrel and bottle has preserved a lovely wine.
