The wine is aged for 6 months in American oak barriques.
Ripe red and black fruits, smoke and chocolate all show on the forward and intense nose. The palate has elegant tannins and subtle acidity that all underpin the brambly fruit, sweet smoke and savoury meatiness on the finish.
The smoky elements of this wine will work beautifully with the natural flavours of barbecue (especially wood fired) whilst the deep fruit and secondary characters will compliment red meat very well
