Tasting Notes from the Winery: Purity of fruit, elegance and freshness. Our core wine. The medium-bodied palate, round and fruity mouthfeel and gentle satiny tannins. Typical blend of Merlot 90%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%, and the input of Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Pair with roasted chicken, rich salads, or various vegetarian meals.

Decanter: “Slight savoury note along with some good red plummy fruit. Youthful but gull tight and opulent on the palate.”
