A beautiful wine with rich garnet hues. Full bodied with exceptional character, intense dark fruit flavours, subtle violet undertones with a hint of liquorice and earthiness. The French Oak is perfectly balanced for a lovely lingering finish.

Only grapes of exceptional quality are selected and sorted in the vineyard leaving sun-burnt berries on the vines. In the cellar, the grapes go through another selection process before de-stemming. No crushing of the berries takes place and fermentation starts naturally after 3 -4 days of cold-soaking at 15°C. The grapes are left on the skins for 25-35 days to create velvety smooth tannins. The wine is lightly pressed and then matured in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

Pair this with fillet steak with a hearty peppercorn or dark mushroom sauce.
