On the palate

The Cabernet Franc adds the spicy, restrained elegance and fine-grained tannins; the Merlot introduces plum and red berry flavours, while the Cabernet Sauvignon provides rigidity with firm tannins and blackberry and cassis flavours. The rich and ripe mulberry flavours of the Malbec are balanced by the fresh red berry acidity provided by the Petit Verdot.

Each batch of grapes has been carefully selected for a very specific aromatic profile, tannin structure and texture to contribute to the harmonious complexity of the First Verse.
