Description
"Merlot dominant blend with some Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Frnac and Malbec. Fresh and focused with a lovely gravelly edge to the lovely expressive red and black fruits. YIt's really assured and harmonious with mid weight fruit working in harmony with the structure" Jamie Goode, Jan 2017
Deepest crimson red in the glass. Brooding aromatically with notes of cassis, black olive, dried tobacco and the faintest hint of caramel. The wine has lovely focus on the palate with dark fruits framed by fine tannins to deliver a classical structure with an excellent future ahead.
The 2017 vintage saw a cool and wet start with a warm finish to summer. Delightful blend of 63% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon,14% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec, which were hand harvested before being transferred to the winery. Fermented in closed top stainless steel tanks, and then aged in oak barriques for 10 months. Offering cellaring 1 to 15 years from vintage.
Food Pairing: Rich red meats
