A blend of 56% Cabernet Franc and 44% Merlot (both organically farmed from our estate), this wine offers a lot of depth and ageability. Spending 19 months in French oak, this wine is of classic Bordeaux essence. Barrel selections were made from the two varietals to create an elegant, food focused red wine.

This medium-bodied red wine has flavours of strawberry, red currant, plum, vanilla, cassis, cedar and spice.
