Tasting Notes
A classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet franc and Cabernet sauvignon. The nose is forthcoming with blackberry, black cherry and cassis. The palate is full and juicy with soft, fine, well integrated tannins. The wine shows great depth with a long, lingering finish.
Winemaker's Notes
The wine was produced from handpicked grapes from our premier vineyards. Four pump overs were done per day, adding to colour, richness and tannins. The different grape varietals were fermented separately with extended maceration on skins after fermentation. Only the best barrels were selected for this wine. The wine was aged for 18 months in 100% new 300L French oak barrels.
Serving Suggestion
A rich, full bodied blend which deserves the best cuts of meat, including Fillet Steak and Saddle of Lamb.
Chef's Special
Saddle of Lamb with fresh Rosemary, roast potatoes and a selection of summer vegetables.
