Alpha Estate SMX, 750ml

TASTING NOTES Deep ruby color with purple hints. Powerful, pungent aromas of sweet cherry, candied plum and toasty vanillin oak. Full bodied and deep in dark fruit flavors, with a peppery and strong oak spicy accents background. The solid tannins build through the finish but there is plenty of supporting depth of fruit here, not to mention a bright acid lift on the back that adds energy. A ‘’Vin de Garde’’ with a great future. DESCRIPTION Harvest: Manual harvesting in 15 kg capacity picking baskets. Maintenance of wine “sur lie” for many months with regular stirring.
