The top wine of the estate is the essence of the best vineyards and the skills of the team. A wine for long term cellaring with big structure, loads of fruit extract and a creamy mouthfeel. Slowly opening in the glass with beautiful scents of wild flowers, wild berries, crushed stones, smoke and black tea.
