A blend of 55% Grenache, 20% Shiraz, 20% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault. Vibrant deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a purple red hue. Fragrant red raspberry scents tinged with hints of violets mix with ripe cherries, incense, fresh herbs and subtle spicy earth notes. Light in body with a bright juicy feel, red raspberry and ripe cherry flavours fill the mouth underscored by elements of light scorched earth, fresh herb infusions and spice. Finishes with fresh lively acidity, fine grainy tannins and a medium to long aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.5%
55% grenache, 20% each of shiraz and mourvedre, 5% cinsaut, each vinified separately. Hand-picked, bunch-sorted on vibrating tables, open-fermented, 10-14 days on skins, matured in large format French oak (1575-2500l). Tangy, zesty, supple red and black fruits, slinky tannins just so. Drink by 2037.
