Crescendo

Deep garnet colour with flavours of rich cherries, dried herbs, sweet oak, spices, black tea and toasted almonds. Both intense and complex on the palate it is powerful yet refined with a lengthy finish. Crescendo has great aging potential.

Production notes - The grapes were hand-harvested with four stages of strict sorting: first, on the vine, then by individual clusters, and then again, grape by grape. The hand selected grapes are then gravity fed directly into the concrete vats. The fermentation and maceration processes take a total of 3 weeks maximising the extraction of character and complexity while keeping the tannins round and supple. After the fermentation stage the wine is drained and then the malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is aged 15 months in French oak barrels.
