The warm conditions of the 2024 growing season allowed our Bordeaux varieties to achieve excellent ripeness while retaining balance and elegance. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc & 20% Merlot, with the balance comprising Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carménère.
Low crop levels and natural fermentation on skins for four weeks were followed by 24 months' maturation in French oak before bottling without fining or filtration. Blackcurrant and blackberry are complemented by subtle notes of white pepper and spice. The palate is generous and beautifully balanced, with a rich mouthfeel and fine, silky tannins.
Barry and Bernard believe this wine has excellent cellaring potential, although it is drinking beautifully now.
