VINES

Drawn from selected blocks across the vineyard, incorporating fruit from nine vineyard blocks and five varieties. Some vines date back to 1990, contributing complexity and character to the blend.

WINEMAKING

Hand picked, sorted and destemmed into a series of small fermenters. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are lightly crushed to aid tannin extraction, while Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot undergo whole berry fermentation to enhance fruit purity and plushness. Cabernet Franc is fermented and matured in clay amphora, adding further complexity to the blend. Hand plunging throughout fermentation allows for the gentle extraction of colour, flavour and texture. 

WINE

Perfumed violets, freshly picked herbs and boysenberry fruit unfold across a medium-bodied palate with an accessible and generous fruit profile. Brimming with freshness, the wine combines leafy lift, aniseed spice and berry-bright acidity. Fine structural tannins and a hint of oak influence bring balance and length to this vibrant interpretation of a classic claret style.

CELLARING

Full of youthful exuberance, this wine is ready for immediate enjoyment. Expect a mellow and graceful evolution if cellared for up to five years under suitable conditions.
