A medium-bodied wine with a silky texture enhanced by flavours of lush velvety chocolate, blackcurrant, mulberry and spiced plums.
Sit back with a glass and a generous wedge of Roquefort or Bleu d’Avergne or pair this with a quality cut of lamb or beef dressed with a mustard sauce, French beans and roasted root vegetables.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
Grown on the highest block of the home vineyard, we hand-picked each parcel of grapes and kept some as whole berries and crushed the rest before combining all parcels together before fermentation.
Fermentation took place in open vats at cool temperature to preserve aromatic detail and to maintain soft tannins for a silky structure. Each parcel was then pressed to French Oak puncheons and matured in oak for 24 months prior to bottling.
