Tasting note
Rich, ripe and toasty, with savoury herbs alongside sumptuous aromas of chocolate, butter fudge, figs and dates. Full-flavoured, with fragrant cedar, vanilla, and an extravagant, juicy texture. There is a herbal element, which provides fresh counterpoint to the expansive richness. Packed with complexity, this is amazing to drink now or keep.
Vinification
From 30 year-old Merlot vines. Grapes are de-stalked, hand sorted, whole berries are pumped into stainless steel fermentation tanks, inoculated with yeast and pumped-over once daily until colour and tannin extraction has been achieved. After fermentation, pressed and racked to barrel for malolactic fermentation.
