Merlot from our older block on the Allendale property was harvested in the second week of October 2016. After 30 days on skins, the free-run wine was allocated to premium French oak barrels (50% new) and aged for 26 months before bottling.
This popular full-bodied red blend has aromas of blackberry, cherry, black olive, juniper, graphite and floral notes. On the palate, the Cab Franc shines through, with flavours of black cherry, raspberry, pomegranate reduction, licorice, cedar and dark chocolate.
This Chardonnay has both richness and intensity, showcasing aromas of melon, grilled pineapple, green apple and papaya. Lemon meringue, beurre blanc and cashew notes add complexity to the palate. 100% estate grown fruit, exclusively from our oldest vineyard block. This barrel fermented Chardonnay is just lightly oaked with carefully selected barrels from our favourite French cooperages.
