Grape Varieties:
100% Merlot
Method and Maturation:
12 Months in 33.3% new wood, 33.3% second fill and 33.3% third fill French barrels. Two rackings during wood-maturation thereafter bottled without filtering or fining. Natural deposits may therefore be found in the bottle.
Tasting notes:
Dark deep crimson colour. Aromas of blueberries, ripe plums and a faint spiciness towards the end. Full velvety mouth feel with hints of berry compote, mulberries and ripe plums. This is a well structured wine with rounded tannins balancing out opulent fruit and a long lingering finish.
Can be enjoyed now but is anticipated to reach its optimum in 2-5 years time.
