A blend of Cabernet franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine ages for 24-30months in 100% new French oak barriques (225L barrels) sourced from two prestigious family owned cooperages in Bordeaux. The wine ages as a blend in the barriques prior to bottling, where after we cellar the wine for a further 24months before the wines is released into the market.
