"A merlot-dominant blend with cabernet and malbec. Medium-bodied red with an appealing grainy texture. Plum, dark berry and subtle fresh herbs. A touch of sweetness balanced by gentle acidity and soft tannins" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jul 2021
Dark ruby in colour, raspberry and plum aromas. Medium bodied with fine lacy tannins and typical savoury notes from the Merlot portion of the blend. Drink now to 2030+.
A challenging spring preceded an extremely long, warm summer with January recording 3.5° C above average temperatures. February through to march was dryer than normal leading to optimal picking conditions from early March to late April. A favorable vintage has been well rewarded.
Harvested in mid-March to early April. Individual varietal parcels were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks followed by 16 months barrel maturation with final blending in December 2020.
