barrels for nine months. Blended and fined with egg white, filtered
and cold stabilised before bottling.
Winemakers Notes
Bouquet of ripe cherries, dark chocolate
and a hint of spice and leather. Supple integrated tannins offering
length and persistence. A palate sweetness, balanced out with
a soft acid. A great vintage for Ti Point; this is a well-balanced,
enjoyable glass of wine.
