A perfectly balanced, full bodied and multi-dimensional red-style blend. The nose and palate are made up of layers of plum, mint, dark chocolate, spice and cigar box aromas. The mouth feel is soft, well rounded with an elegant and lingering finish.

Vineyards / Vintage
The well drained, decomposed sandstone soil is ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Special vinification methods are used to obtain low vigour, slow ripening grapes, perfect building blocks for this iconic Bordeaux blend. Barrel aged for 36 months in small French, first fill barrels. It is important to let the wine breath for 1-2 hours. Enjoy now or keep for 5-7 years.
