A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec, 15% Merlot and 14% Petit Verdot, Clémentine’ is sourced entirely from the Woodlands Brook Vineyard with maturation taking place in French oak, 35% new, for a period of 18 months.
The colour is bright, and remarkably dense and crimson. The nose reveals the classic Wilyabrup Valley combination of violet and brambly red fruits, with a touch of vanillin French oak. The palate follows with a sense of purpose- marching to the beat of red berry and dark berry fruits, with dark cocoa following along in the background. The Finish is polished and sleek, with excellent integration of gravelly tannin and fine acidity.
55% cabernet sauvignon, 16% malbec, 15% merlot, 14% petit verdot matured in barrel (40% new) for 16 months. This, like all the Woodlands wines, is a reflection of a great site, meticulous viticulture and unrelenting attention to detail in the winery. Its majority percentage of cabernet means it is firmer than Emily, but it's a question of degree: first the tannins are perfectly ripe and secondly, the three other varieties are juicy and plush, the tannins very soft.
