Description

• Nutty oak
• Red fruits
• Exotic spices
• Long finish

"A blend of Merlot 42%, Cabernet Franc 25%, Carménère 17%, Cabernet Sauvignon 8% and Malbec 8%. Intense and complex red with a range of flavours including dark berry, plum, wood smoke, roasted chestnut, anise, spice and nutty oak. A delicious wine that's great to taste now but promises to develop further with bottle age" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jul 2020

"…the dark, youthful 2014 vintage also shows impressive density and complexity" Michael Cooper

Another generous growing season has resulted in a Harmonie du Soir release that impressively treads the line between power and restraint. After some time in the decanter, this young wine begins to reveal its incredible perfume of vibrant red fruits and exotic spices. It’s silky-smooth and immensely chewy on the palate, red fruits again matched with spice and a savoury herbal component, which pulsates through to a resounding, lengthy finish. One of the best wines ever to come out of this tiny property, to be cellared with confidence for at least 15 years.
