Colour Vibrant rich red with purple/black tints.

Nose Intriguing aromas of blueberry, satsuma and bay leaf.

Palate Plum, cherry and bramble fruits lead into the structure and complexity of oak, exotic spice and ferrous tannins. Malbec adds perfume and depth of colour, while Petit Verdot contributes dustings of spice and tannin.

Winemaker Comments

Components were matured in French oak barriques for 15 months prior to blending. The final blend saw 15% new oak, with the balance in seasoned barrels. The blend spent upwards of a month in tank to integrate and harmonise prior to bottling.
