The 40 hectare vineyard of Chateau Kirwan is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Merlot (30%), 15% Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot (10%).
There’s fragrant charm here with purple flowers and a swathe of ripe, juicy dark berries. This has a firmish overall feel with sturdy tannins, driving ripe and fresh, red and dark berries long. The oak is very nicely played.
