Bright & vibrant, elegantly proportioned with intense & concentrated flavours

Description
Deep garnet with youthful rim. Quintessential Merlot aromatics of dark plum along with dark rose and the faintest hint of dried pine needles. Classically structured palate with a core of ripe red fruits integrated with fine dusty tannins for an elegant long finish.
The 2015 vintage was warm and early, producing excellent quality fruit. 45% of the fruit was hand harvested. This delightful blend of Merlot (76%), Cabernet Sauvignon (14%), Cabernet Franc (8%) and Malbec (2%) was fermented in closed top stainless steel tanks. Maturation took place over 17 months in oak barriques before being fined and filtered ready for bottling in December 2016.
Food Pairing: Rich red meat dishes.
