The 2021 vintage of our flagship Dead of Night is comprised of the top performing barrels of each of our Syrah and Tannat blocks. This is a full-bodied wine with a deep ruby colour in the glass, and an aromatic nose of blackberry, cocoa, chai spice and hints of vanilla bean. The palate brings out characters of coffee, chocolate-covered strawberries, and cherry wood. This wine has incredible structure; rich and complex with a beautiful texture and depth of flavour. The well-integrated tannins provide the perfect backdrop for the complex aromas and flavours while allowing the acidity to carry the lengthy finish. Dead of Night is quite approachable and drinks well upon release - surprisingly so for such a well-structured wine. However, this is also a wine that has the intensity, acidity and tannins required to make it an ideal candidate for cellaring up to and through 2033. Pairs beautifully with smoked brisket, carpaccio, vegetarian goulash and duck with plum sauce.

This is 52% Tannat and 48% Syrah. The wine was partially co-fermented in stainless steel but aged in oak (29% new French and Hungarian oak). This is a generous wine, with aromas of spice, dark fruits and vanilla. On the palate, there are flavours of dark cherry, plum and chocolate, with long, ripe tannins.
