All parcels were gently hand plunged once daily, to aid optimum colour , but gentle tannin extraction, then pressed and matured in 225-litre French oak barriques, (32% new), for up to 18 months before being blended and then aged a further 6 months in a 5000L Curve before been bottled in July 2025. 

Variety

80% Cabernet Franc

20% Tempranillo

Each parcel was matured either in new or seasoned 225-litre French oak barriques for up to 12 months before being blended in May and bottled in June 2022, respectively. The percentage of new oak in the final blend was 38%.

THE WINE

The beauty and perfume of Cabernet Franc is complimented by the sophistication and rustic character of Tempranillo.

Complex aromas of brambly blackcurrants, plums and coffee grounds intermingled with hints of dried herbs, chocolate and sweet spices.

The palate is intense and generous framed with fine-grained tannins and juicy acidity which combine to produce a succulent, supple, textural wine with the structure and capacity to develop further complexity over the next 10 – 20 years
