About this product
Tasting Evaluation
Colour: Concentrated purple-black core with a ruby rim.
Aroma: Perfumed varietal Cabernet aromas of blackcurrant, black olive and cassis with further layers of choc mint and rare roast lamb. Subtle oak spice appears with a further swirling of the glass.
Palate: Fleshy mid-palate of black plum, black cherry, Black forest cake, cocoa and raspberry liquorice are framed with dusty, mouth-coating tannins. Fresh red apple skin acidity creates focus and direction.

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.

From two estate blocks, destemmed and crushed to open fermenters, twice-daily pumpovers, 20 months in French and American oak (58% new). Has the Hemera stamp all over it, even though ‘only' 58% new oak. Velvety, but does cloy somewhat. Drink to 2032
