The Rhum spends three years in re-charred Bourbon barrels and then is transferred to new American oak barrels for at least one more year before it is ready to be bottled
Notes of ripe dark berries and Morello cherries with a hint of cherry stones complemented by spicy and smoky notes on the finish
When we took over the vineyard in mid 2017 it was in need of some drastic viticulture
and the Willowlake and Full Moon vineyards (both in the upper Yarra Valley)
Fantastic value from this authentic Italian producer
