Fantastic with pizza, pasta and plenty of parmesan cheese!
A fresh, juicy red with aromas of raspberries, plums and cherries. These characters follow through to the palate, which has considerable fruit weight along with soft tannins and a very savory spiciness. Refreshing acidity on the f inish.

The south west facing vineyards are at altitudes between 250 to 400M above sea level and the soil is a combination of clay and limestone. Grapes are hand harvested at the start of October. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks between 77o-86oF. Pressed when dry and racked into stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation.
