Producer

Hastwell & Lightfoot

A medium- to full-bodied Cabernet, it has spicy fruits, blackberries and black cherries with incense, smoke and chocolate. A smoky, almost medicinal character – think Islay malt whisky – comes out in the glass, complemented by a tart, sour cherry finish. It can be drunk now but should mellow with some more bottle age. A touch of Cabernet Franc was added to the final blend. The wine matured in French and American oak for 22 months then bottled in December, 2019.
