Parcels are vinified separately in a mix of fermenters and pressed off skins upon completion. Some components are matured in seasoned oak barrels to derive complexity, the balance remain unoaked to return vital fruit characters and preserve freshness. Prior to assemblage, each component is assessed to strike the perfect balance of lifted fruit and gentle tannins, supple oak and fine complexity.
Deep purple/ red colour. An enticing nose redolent of dark summer berry compote with hints of chocolate. Subtle oak lets the fruit do the talking and plays a supportive, integrated role.

Aromas of fig, peach and melon with hints of oak are developed into an elegant yet powerful and fruity palate with a well-balanced, creamy finish. The culmination of these superb qualities marks a major victory for the brand at this historic wine event.
