A Bordeaux blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, and 4% Malbec grown on their farm, this is a distinctive expression of the area – “A muscular Bordeaux style blend that exudes power and concentration, tied up in a structure of fine-grained tannin and bright acidity that not only promise extensive evolution, but also entices with every visit to the glass. Brooding dark fruit tightly packed in an intricate frame are delivered with great purity and finesse. Vivid, concentrated flavours rest on an intricate frame of tightly woven tannins, delivering purity and finesse. Only released in superior vintages.”
Vines are planted in weathered granite topsoil on a layer of gravel, above a crumbly clay sub-soil. Yield of 5 tons per hectare. Specially selected from the best blocks on the estate, these components were individually fermented in stainless steel tanks with a cultured biodynamic yeast to enhance terroir characteristics. The wines were all separately aged for 20 months in 225L and 300L barrels and blended after careful selection. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
