2015 Pierro L.T.Cf. Cabernet & Merlot

Pierro L.T.Cf. Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot Little Touch of Cabernet Franc Smooth, silky soft and attractive. An easy drinking medium bodied red wine with elegant flavours of blackberry, cassis mulberry & plum. The fruit for this wine is hand-picked over a 14 day period in late March. All grapes are chilled then both bunch and berry sorted by hand. The wine is left with skins for an average of 20 days before pressing and maturation in 10% new, 1,2 and 3 year old French barriques for 11-12 months. Each year the blend changes slightly depending on the vintage and the yield. But every year the aim is to create a wine that is delicious and complex but also elegant, smooth and easy drinking.
