This resulted in grapes with excellent acidity levels and intense fruit expression. Following maceration and fermentation, we matured the wine in a combination of new and second use French oak barrels (Boutes and Saury) for 16 months.  We blended 95% Malbec together with 5% Cabernet Franc to round out the intensity and character of the wine. We have aged the wine an additional four years in the bottle to soften the alcohol and provide a smoother finish, realising this wine’s great potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"mce-content-body\" id=\"tinymce\" role=\"textbox\" style=\"overflow-y: auto; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;\" aria-label=\"Description\" aria-multiline=\"true\" data-id=\"product-description\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine provides a captivating bouquet of freshly crushed black cherries and plums, which elegantly evolve into a complex combination of plums, wild flowers, and notes of graphite.
