Wine Description
All estate grown fruit was used to make this blend, machine harvested and aged in French Oak Barrels and Puncheons for 15 months.
Vibrant in the glass – deep purple with bright red edges. The nose is complex and expressive. A mix of red / blue / purple fruits – the blend of varieties reflected in the broader spectrum. Oak – though present – is not imposing itself. Remarkably fragrant. Savoury notes in the tobacco and cedar zone add interest. Complex structure and great length created by the blend of varieties, a wine to try now but also one to cellar. Alc/Vol 13.3% Drink To 2030
