combination of pumpovers and punch-downs followed to ensure optimum colour and flavour extraction from the skins. The wine
matured for 12 months in 3rd and 4th fill French oak barrels. Alc 14.5%, TA 6.8g/l, pH 3.6, RS 2.8g/l. Special Offer: Save 20%, £6.99 -

A little light on the nose. Nice spicy, dark fruity taste. Some mint. Nice and juicy.
