Ken Forrester The Gypsy

Low yields with small, concentrated berries resulted in a limited production of a little over 1500 bottles. Almost 3 years of barrel ageing before making up the final blend, only to bottle the wine and allow it an additional 2 years of bottle age.

A very concentrated, focused blend with layers of deep fruit.

The character is expectedly somewhat “wild”, a little brambly with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, dark spices, with vanilla scents and a distinct, concentrated red-fruit focus. A beautiful wine, showcasing the unique characters of the terroir and a result of hard work and patience.
