Description These old, dry grown bush vines grow in shallow soils on hard rock, requiring hand pruning to keep producing berries in this harsh environment. The vines are very small for their age, their tiny shoots giving them a bonsai appearance. The resulting wines are incredibly intense. This one is full bodied and mouth-filling with luscious dark plum and mulberry flavours. The tannins are quite soft with spice and a little alcohol heat contributing to the finish. Beautifully rich and juicy, it's ready to drink now.
