The 2008 vintage (4*) was hand-picked at a relatively warm site at Rapaura, fermented with indigenous yeasts, barrel-aged for 15 months, and bottled unfiltered. Deeply coloured, it is slightly less rich than the highly concentrated 2007 (4.5*), but shows good complexity and texture, with mouthfilling body and strong, ripe cherry/plum flavours, smooth and savoury.
