Lady in Red 2020

Tasting Notes

Crimson red wine with an intense perfumed mélange of red fruits and candy apple and bright oak undertones. On the palate, the fruit / oak balance is harmonious with soft, firm tannins, cassis and plum flavours producing a wine of excellent structure. The fruit lingers long on the palate. The final blend for 2020 consists of 81% Shiraz and 14% Grenache Noir.

Winemaker's Notes

Rhone style blend. Harvesting done by hand, followed by grape sorting. Cold soaking for 24 hours. Each varietal was fermented separately with great attention to quality, to ensure optimal development in profile and character for each wine. Extended skin contact followed fermentation allowing for better extraction from skins. Each wine was matured separately for 8 months in 300l French oak barrels of which no new. After blending and filtration, bottling took place in October 2019.
