Cabernet Sauvignon was destemmed, berry sorted and crushed into half-tonne open fermenters, with 5% whole bunch fermentation used to add aromatic lift and perfume. Malbec was destemmed into small fermenters and hand plunged twice daily. The wine was matured in French Bordeaux-shaped barrels, including 10% new oak, to support the juicy fruit profile while retaining freshness and immediate drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrant with purple violets and fresh raspberry leaf.
