Picked ahead of all other reds specifically for sparkling, this wine is harvested during cool early mornings and fermented on skins in small open and tank fermenters over seven to ten days. Fermentation is driven by R2323, AWRI 350, and EC1118 yeasts, with minimal tannin extraction and temperatures reaching up to 30°C for vibrant fruit expression. Malolactic fermentation was completed in barrel.
A deep garnet hue reveals aromas of blackberry, blood plum, and cassis. Hints of chocolate, mint, ripe berries, and star anise complement a creamy mid-palate mousse, developed from 18 months on lees. Elegantly balanced with fine, velvety tannins, it offers structured length and a lasting finish.
