15% whole bunches, wild fermentation,10 months in French oak. A highly expressive, fragrant and complex bouquet carries onto the savoury/spicy palate with wild blackberry, licorice and black peppercorn flavours. The tannins are very good, adding to texture and length.

Destemmed, 5-day cold soak, wild-fermented for 7 days at 28?C, matured in new and used French barriques for 16 months. The deep, intense colour hoists the battle colours of an extremely powerful shiraz that nonetheless is not extractive, nor with dead fruit; blackberry compote, licorice, tar, spice and pepper are all on parade on the fullbodied palate. The longer you give it, the better it will be.
