Bordeaux Red, 70% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec. Certified organic, cold maceration prior to slow fermentation, aged in French oak barrels.

A vintage shaped by severe spring frost and mildew pressure that came into its own across a dry, sunny and cool September and October. Medium deep ruby, a pure nose of delicate red fruit, plum and wild herbs with mild oak, then a supple, savoury palate with grainy tannin and fine length. Andreas Larsson 89/100. Wine Enthusiast 88/100.
