Grapes: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
Winemaking: 12 months oak-ageing then a further 12 months in the bottle.
Tasting Notes: The perfume is an evocative compote of rich, ripe summer fruits steeped in spices. The palate displays a gorgeous swathe of pristine blackberry and loganberry flavours supported by well-integrated tannins. Beautifully vibrant and pure, yet with a hint of cedarwood and woodsmoke on the finish. Beautifully balanced and wonderful to drink now.
Food Matches: Mushroom risotto, sautéed chicken, light lamb dish, truffle omelette, duck breast, veal stew.
