A generous wine that shows sweet and vibrant fruit on the fleshy palate with soft mouth coating tannins.

Winemaking:
Fruit was selected by the winemaker and picked when both flavour and Baumé were optimum. Warm fermentation temperatures and gentle colour tannin extraction were used to create a soft wine style.
