The 40 hectare vineyard of Chateau Kirwan is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Merlot (30%), 15% Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot (10%).
A sleek wine with plenty of tannins, but they are already so well integrated that this has a very elegant personality. The long finish is rather mineral and very pure. Drink or hold.

The 2015 Kirwan has a deep garnet-purple colour and nose of crushed red currants, black cherries and black plums with wafts of tilled soil, fallen leaves and bark. The medium-bodied mouth offers nice intensity with soft, fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness on the finish. Drink 2019-2033.
