2007 VINTAGE
PRODUCTION:
Produced from vines planted on the slopes of the coastal ranges. These soils are old and have a high mineral content. The
grapes were de-stemmed and whole bunch pressed. After pressing,
the red grape must was given an overnight cold maceration in order
to extract colour. The juice was then bled off the skins and
fermented in stainless steel between 15 and 18ºC using selected
yeast strains.

WINEMAKERS TASTING NOTES:
Vibrant pink/red in colour. On the nose, the wine has intense
aromas of cherries with notes of strawberries. On the palate,
the wine is fresh with a crisp acidity and red berry flavours.
PRESS COMMENTS: An intense fruit
finish, good length and a nice rounded, fresh palate marks this one
out.
