Showing pure crimson red Estate Merlot Cabernets ’23 has a wonderfully aromatic and complex nose of red and black plums and wild berries layered with dried herbs, spice and cedar.

WINEMAKING                                                                                                                  
The individual parcels of each variety from each plot were de-stemmed before a traditional warm fermentation, followed by extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were pressed, returned to tank for malolactic fermentation, then run off to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for maturation before blending. The wines were regularly topped and racked throughout maturation, blended and traditionally egg-white fined before bottling. The final blend is 61% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Cabernet Franc
