Tasting Notes

Aromas of blackcurrant, plum and violet with an underlay of graphite, cedar and subtle traces of truffle and smoke. On the palate it is full bodied and structured, with firm but polished tannins framing a concentrated core of dark fruit. A line of freshness brings lift and clarity, whilst fine oak spice and mineral notes extend through a long, focused finish.

Vinification

Harvest 29th August - 20th September with a yield of 30 hl/ha. The Grand Vin will be aged in 60% new oak for 18 months. Alc 13.4%.
