This wine is made in the same style as the celebrated Claret from Bordeaux,
using traditional methods.
Deep ruby in appearance with aromas of dark fruit, such as blackcurrents, plums and boysenberries.
Layered beneath there are also hints of tobacco, liquorice and cloves.
While the wine is full bodied, the Merlot component ensures it remains smooth and succulent on the palate, with generous fruit weight and soft velvety tannins.
The mouthfeel is plush and velvety, beautifully balanced with ripe tannins and a backbone of spritely acid.
This is a complex and harmonious wine, showcasing juicy fruit weight, an elegant structure, and a prolonged, moreish finish.
Screwcap. 13.50% alcohol content.
