From Block 3 of the Stevens Road Vineyard, crushed and destemmed, fermented in small static fermenters, 28 days post-ferment maceration on skins, matured in French oak (40% new) for 14 months, blended and returned to used French oak for a further 2 months. The colour is lighter and less purple than the Reserve, the bouquet and palate following suit. While there is good varietal fruit expression, it's more austere, more Old Word classic.
