Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Quite deep and concentrated on the nose, it displays an array of aromas of dark berries, smoke, cedar, iron, tobacco, pepper and liquorice. It opens up on the palate to reveal crisp cassis fruit and cherry with smoky tobacco edges and a hint of green pepper all hung on a ripe firm structure. Excellent balance.

About

Vineyards: It was their aim to produce a Bordeaux Blend and so we planted the classic varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These vines were planted on carefully selected sites and took 9 years to reach a level of maturity which we felt comfortable to use for the maiden vintage (2001).

Winemaking: The grapes were fermented whole with native yeasts (true to our ancient custom) and left for 5 weeks on their skins. A slow 2 years of barrel maturation followed and a further 4 years of bottle maturation.

Ideal with...

Most red meats especially steak and lamb, rich game, mature hard cheeses.
