- TASTING NOTE: Very deep nose fruit reminiscent of black fig, blood plum and cassis with a hint of vanilla. Savoury notes delicately imply wax, sandy earth, red chilli, with a subtle suggestion of roast beef ends, finishing with fragrant, polished oak. A classic rich and creamy front palate with deep blackberry, fig and mulberry fruit, lifted by fresh acidity and firm dry tannins, leaving a perfume-filled, plush and powerful finish.
- ABOUT THE WINE: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Malbec. Hand Harvested 17 March - 18 April 2023. 100% Whole berry, wild fermented. Matured in French Oak Barriques (34% new) for 17 months.
