This is our fourth release of our flagship red blend. We believe that at this level the consumer is entitled to more complexity, more interest and more terroir character, not just a brasher version of a cheaper wine. The wine must have intensity of flavour, great structure and texture, but above all the ability to mature. With twenty one years knowledge of our vineyards we have identified the blocks that are capable of achieving greatness. Careful nurturing of these blocks and selective handpicking at optimum ripeness provided the raw material from which to sculpt a great wine. In the cellar the focus was on texture and the development of secondary aromas to complement the primary fruit. Through a 2 year rearing process in mostly new French oak barrels, split between Berthomieu and Mercier, a seductive complex wine was created, which satisfied our requirements for “World Class” status. After bottling, the wine is matured in our cellar for a year to allow further secondary development.
Wine Cellaring: This ia a wine that should last for at least ten years from vintage
