"Here’s a wine for the Merlot lovers because reds labelled Vin de Bordeaux are typically heavily Merlot dominant with a little Cabernet Sauvignon blended in for structure to provide a firm backbone. This wine has tastes of dried herb and capsicum notes which clearly show the powerful Cabernet Sauvignon characters in the blend. It’s smooth, spicy and totally dry in taste and texture. Drinking well now, it could hold for another two to three years and will marry extremely nicely with a juicy steak or mushroom risotto." - Joelle Thomson, Wine Writer
Brilliant deep red colour, with ruby hues. Complex and delicate nose of red fruits (blackcurrant, plum). A powerful palate which presents mature tannins. The attack is nice and plump and gives way to a long fruity finish with hints of smoke.
Traditional winemaking in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine is pumped over regularly to achieve the best possible extraction of the colour of the fruit and the structure. Maturation in American oak barrels for part of the wine.
Serve with red meats, white meats, cooked meats, quails
Cellar for 1 to 6 years, as the wine’s taste and aroma will develop.
Bordeaux, France
