Tasting notes from the producer:

Ripe blackberry fruits mingle with a rustic hint of iodine, complemented by subtle bay leaf undertones providing a herbal lift in the background. Warm brown spices and a delicate oak essence contribute to both flavor and tannin structure. This wine showcases beautiful fruit expression, buoyed by refreshing acidity and refined tannins, promising longevity. While complex, it remains approachable, offering an exciting evolution over time.

The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted, ensuring only the finest berries are selected. Cabernet fruit undergoes individual berry sorting before gentle crushing to enhance fermentation structure. Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot are fermented as whole berries to enhance fragrance and palate weight. Fermentation takes place primarily in half-tonne fermenters, with manual plunging twice daily. A portion of the Cabernet component undergoes fermentation in a new 3500L upright oak cask, spending 8 weeks on skins to add complexity and savory elements. Following 15 months of barrel maturation in French oak, 40% new, the wines are blended to perfection.
