Winemaking:

At harvest we picked when
the flavours were ideal and the sugars were high. The 2021 Bistro was fermented in small 1-tonnes vessels for optimal skin to juice ratio. Different yeast strains were used for complexity and character with best temperatures maintained throughout the fermentation process. After alcoholic fermentation was complete each batch was genteelly pressed off of their skins in our Diemme Velvet bladder press, to settle before being racked and transferred to French oak barrels for ageing. After malolactic fermentation was complete, blending trials were carried out with particular care.

Appearance:

Deep red with a purple hue.

Aroma:

Young and vibrant nose with floral notes, mix of ripe red and black berries and tones of liquorice and toasted almonds.

Palate:

A refreshing palate for this well balanced wine, with silky tannins, juicy red fruits, redcurrant and ripe strawberry. The acid and tannins are balanced and leave a refreshing medium length finish with toasty notes. A great wine to pair with any red meat or game, or strong-flavoured cheese.
