About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit VerdotAn elegant, medium-bodied style with soft, dark berry fruits, black and red plum, cassis, warm clove and spice notes with hints of sweet tobacco and roasted walnuts. Soft powdery tannins and supporting charry oak provide excellent structure, while a refined line of acidity ensures length of flavour and texture on the back palate. Touches of violets and liquorice from cool-climate Cabernet enhance the velvet rich plum fruitcake of Merlot, with Petit Verdot offering firmer tannin backbone and excellent acidic balance.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

47% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 19% petit verdot vinified separately through to initial oak ageing when some parcels were earmarked for this wine. the major components were matured for 16months in used French barriques, but counterintuitively the 10% new oak used for the the cabernet was American, not French. No matter, this is an extremely well balanced wine, the palate long, the finish fresh, but with the necessary tannins. I fancy one of the keys is the 13.8% alcohol.
