Wine Description
56% Malbec, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Petit Verdot, this wine bursts with aromas of lavender and crushed violets. Sweetened spices, cassis, red cherries and mulberries are complemented by more savoury notes of bay leaf, olive tapenade and mocha. The palate is voluminous and soft with a ripe frame of tannins providing structure and length to this deliciously fragrant wine.
All fruit with components with the exception of the Cabernet Sauvignon were destemmed but not crushed into concrete fermenters to retain whole berries and achieve a highly perfumed wine. Extraction was gentle and each batch spent about two to three weeks on skins. Post fermentation, each parcel was gently pressed separately to French oak barriques of which 10% was new. Wines were matured for 15-months before being racked, blended and bottled in Spring 2021.
