Taste profile: Chateau A heady concoction of inky dark fruit, graphite, new leather, licorice, lavender, spice and grilled herbs soars out of the glass. Rich and expansive yet retains a super-classic vertical feel. Plush, silky tannins add to its immeasurable pedigree.

Winemaking process: Grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, and then macerated for 20-30 days and fermented at 28-32C in temperature controlled stainless steel vats of varying size. The wine is then transferred into oak barrels for aging after finishing its malolactic fermentation.
