The concept of blending complementary and compatible grape varieties to create a wine of amplified expression, structure, integration, and balance, harnessing each components individual strengths to fashion a wine greater than the sum of its manifold component’s, has long held a fascination for us as wine producers. Taking its lead from the estimable blends of Bordeaux, built around a base of Merlot, we seek to find a vintage-specific synergy from a harmonious blend, resulting in a wine expression beyond the limited range afforded to the singular grape varieties when bottled in isolation.
Aroma: Leading with red currant, boysenberry, bramble, and rosemary, the input of multiple varieties is melded with expressions of charry roast lamb and allspice.
Palate: Restrained acidity drives the sanguineous palate with flavours of cranberry, smoked charcuterie, and toasted cumin.
Assertive yet integrated tannins work in tandem with interwoven fruit weight to drive through to a resounding finish.
This wine is suitable for vegans.
