Tasting Notes

A Red Blend that is complex with a lovely deep garnet color that explodes with flavours of berries & cherries. The Petit Verdot adds the lovely spice, while the Cabernet Sauvignon the meatiness. The well-rounded palate rewards with mellow ripe tannins overflowing into a long lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate.


Winemaker Notes

Grapes were specially selected in the vineyards. Grapes were harvested at 24.5 balling. 250g of sugar per liter. Crushed and de-stemmed - punch down every three hours until fermented dry. Pressed with a traditional wooden press up till 1.4 bar – free run and then pressed juice together – 100% malolatic fermentation in big wooden vats - Wood matured 17 months in Oak Barrels – Fined, filtered and bottled.
