This wine is the result of blending some carefully selected parcels harvested at optimum maturity. The Shiraz offers the lifted bouquet, the Cabernet the dark, rich fruit and structure while the Grenache provides lift and spice

Each parcel was harvested and fermented separately. The blending of these varieties delivers a dense and silky wine
