About The Harvest
We have identified blocks that can achieve
greatness. These blocks have been nurtured and selectively
handpicked at optimum ripeness to provide the base from which to
sculpt a great wine.
In The Cellar
In the cellar the focus was on texture and the development of secondary aromas to complement the primary fruit. Through a 2 year rearing process in mostly new French oak barrels, split between Mercier and Berthomieu, a seductive complex wine was created, which satisfied our requirements for “World Class” status. After bottling, the wine is matured in our cellar for over 2 years to allow further secondary aroma development.
Additional Information

choice of brand as it symbolizes the dedication and heritage that are
hallmarks of this wine. This wine is designed to appeal to the
consumer looking for greater complexity, terroir character and
longevity.
