After a perfect, long dry autumn Hans handpicked a tiny yield of 600g/vine of healthy, physiologically ripe Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes in harmony with his ‘low yield/highest quality’ philosophy. The vines grow on the sandy, gravelly soils of our vineyard, akin to those of the Pomerol region. Both climates are moderated by their proximity to the Ocean and the presence of rivers yielding wines of exclusive velvety quality best after 10 years of ageing.
A blend of merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon in equal parts. Rich, ripe and fleshy red that's showing the benefit of a little bottle-age with integrated flavours and a silken texture. Ripe berry, dark cherry, cassis, dried herb, licorice and nutty oak flavours. Should develop well with bottleage. Drink: 2019-2028
