Showing remarkable quality for this sort of volume – now over 1.5 million bottles – this wonderfully drinkable Bordeaux blend is Merlot based with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Stellenbosch dominates with some Darling and West Coast components. Fresh, grassy and intense, with savoury tannins and classy oak. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks with extended skin contact. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels. Matured for 17 months in 225 litre French oak barrels. The wine has an ageing potential of at least 6 years from vintage.
