Exhibiting generous plum and dark cherry fruits with smoky chocolate overtones.  It has a lovely rich texture to the palate which displays notes of licorice and spicy tannins, balanced by medium acidity producing an elegant and sophiscated wine.

The fruit for this wine was carefully selected during the growing season to ensure exceptional quality.  Fermentation occurred in 50% new and 50% premium 1 year old French oak and gently lees stirred weekly during 9 months of maturation to give excellent complexity, a creamy texture and seamless integration.

Il Taglio means ‘the cut’ or ‘the blend’ in Italian.  For this wine we wanted to showcase the best of our Mediterranean varieties, ‘those which have made the cut’. Our 2013  “taglio”  is a blend of Shiraz (36%), Nebbiolo (34%), Grenache (14%)  Barbera (6%) Sangiovese (6%) and Mourvedre (3%). Each parcel was kept separate, in a mix of old and new oak, until the final moments when meticulous blending sessions were carried out to ensure just the right proportion of each was used to make the best wine possible.

The grapes for this wine are picked 10-14 days earlier than the rest of our Semillon in order to capture high natural acidity and low sugar levels. This combination of high acid / low sugar / low pH coupled with grassy, citrus characters produces a wine of relatively low alcohol with excellent ageing ability. The wine is fermented at low temperatures in a stainless steel tank with a neutral yeast strain and bottled as a fresh, zesty youthful wine before being hidden away in the cellar to develop for a few years.

Sangiovese is the grape variety that makes up the major part of the red wines of Tuscany including Chianti and the very famous Brunello di Montalcino. While young it is packed with fresh cherries and spice notes and is known for its distinct tannins. Our 2015 Sangiovese was made aged in oak barrels for 12 months to develop complexity and structure.

Harvested in pristine condition in early January the fruit was de-stemmed, crushed and then fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to help retain the fresh fruit characters and bottled soon after ensuring minimal winemaking intervention. This process allows us to produce a wine that shows pronounced expression of both the vineyard and the variety

Harvested, fermented and aged as separate parcels in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, before being blended just prior to bottling. The Cabernet is selected for its structure black fruits and herbaceous notes while the Merlot offers substances on the mid-palate with plum, spice and soft tannins.

This fresh and vibrant wine sings of strawberries in both colour and flavour, along with notes of raspberry, lime, dried roses and summer rain. It has a generous palate, with crunchy red fruit and added complexity from the fine light tannins of the Sangiovese grape. Lively acidity balances well with the sweetness of the fruit and delivers a clean dry finish.
