Winemaker's Notes:

Cheerful fruit scents recall wild berry jam, cherry and blueberry, accented by anise, vanilla and a spicy wisp of barbecue smoke.

The palate, lively and fresh, is brimming with juicy fruit flavours like raspberry, blackberry and apple, and again, an appetizing hint of smoky meat.  

Clusters grown on the Malivoire Estate Vineyard were picked by hand October 8th to 13th as grape sugars achieved 22.4° Brix.

Hand-sorted grapes were divided into three lots to ferment in an oak cuve (50%), concrete vat (25%) or stainless-steel tank (25%).  In all cases, 22% of the grapes were retained in whole clusters, layered-in with crushed berries. 

After pressing, 41% of the wine went to stainless steel, while the larger portion aged in neutral (average 10-year-old) barrels.  The finished wine was bottled six months later, in May 2022.

Alcohol measured 12%; 0.6 g/L residual sugar; Titratable Acidity: 7.4 grams per litre; pH: 3.37

Enjoy now through 2026.

Dry:  0.6 g/L residual sugar

Predominantly aged in oak, the balance in stainless. 20% whole bunch. Peppery notes lead over currant and raspberry fruit, fresh, lively and juicy - I like this; simple pleasure.

Bright ruby in colour; lightly cedary, black cherry nose with a touch of oak spice; medium-bodied, dry, juicy cherry flavour carried on lively acidity.
