WINEMAKING COMMENTS

The well drained gravel slopes of the Optimiste vineyards give this late ripening grape variety the very best chance of ripening slowly and evenly, softening out the tannins and filling out the palate.

AROMA

Lifted, floral violets and red berry aromas.

FLAVOUR

Fuller bodied wine, with tannin backbone. There darker berry flavours with a savouriness and olive flavour.  Some grippiness on the finish.

A pleasant varietal Petit Verdot which should cellar of the medium term.
