Three Choirs Vineyards Estate Reserve Ravens Hill 2021

A ruby coloured red wine full of ripe raspberry and cherry fruit on the nose with a subtle hint of lightly toasted oak from the American Barrel ageing. English red berry fruit character dominates the palate, (damson, cherry, raspberry, with a hint of blackberry) and on the finish subtle vanilla oak character adds a degree of complexity to this cool-climate red wine.

The Three Choirs Vineyard is south facing on sandy loam soil with a GDC trellis system with 800 vines per acre or 2000 per hectare. Most vines are 10-20 years old, all grapes are hand-picked. The wine required minimum intervention in the winery.
