For the nose, scents of fresh cherries, and strawberries and a suggestion of white pepper. A taste finds the wine fleshy and medium weight, with flavours of ripe Niagara cherries and raspberries. Grape clusters grown on the Malivoire Estate and Genova Vineyards. The newly harvested grapes were sorted by hand. The larger portion (65 %) was gently de-stemmed, while 35% was layered in by whole clusters. After primary and malo-lactic fermentation in concrete tank, stainless steel tank and oak barrel, 70% of the wine was transferred to neutral barrels and the 30% remained in tank. The wine was blended seven months later.
