Product Description:
Tendrils of spice add nuance and enticement to a nose full of black berries, hedgerow fruits and some mocha notes. On the palate, it is soft, rounded and plush but with the flavour of dark fruitcake, black cherry, baking spice and pencil shavings. The mouthfeel is enhanced by its overall stature and regal sophistication. Balanced with seamless integration of oak and ripe, rich fruit with beautiful juiciness and freshness. Complex, supple and silky, the wine is ultimately simply delicious with a deliciously long finish.

Vinifikation
The grapes are hand-picked from selected vineyards, specifically harvested for the Optima and transported in small crates to the cellar, where they are cooled in a refrigerated truck. In the cellar, the whole berries are double-sorted with an optical sorting machine to ensure that only the highest quality grapes are used. The must was fermented in a combination of large Nico Velo concrete tanks and stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is left on the skins for an extended maceration of up to five days to gain further depth and complexity. The result is a deep color and a good tannin structure. Each component was aged for 20 months in 225 L French oak barriques, with 30% of the barriques being new. Oak. After this, it is blended and bottled. To ensure ultimate harmony and balance, the wine is aged for another two years in the bottle before release.
