Grape Variety
Producer
A savoury wine with grass, hay and gamey notes. It is a relatively light medium-bodied wine. It is supple with a grainy texture and linear in structure, leading to a bitter cherry finish. Harvest in 2019 was towards the end of September into October. The impact of two summer heatwaves in June and the end of July were tempered by cool nighttime temperatures, which preserved acidity and fresh fruit flavours. A blend of 77% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon.

A blend of 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc, grapes were harvested by hand September 14-30 and fermented with gentle extraction and low maceration temperatures. Merlot was matured in barrels with 24% new oak, the Cabernet Franc in 600-litre casks (demi-muids).
