Deep red in colour with a distinctive bouquet. Well balanced in flavour with notes of black plum and a hint of green pepper with a mellow, oak wood aroma.
A truly versatile, flavorsome and complex wine to delight the palate, one that can be served as an aperitif or with food. Balanced, with crisp acidity, lush fruit and a rounded body, the oak-aged Chardonnay gives structure, finesse and elegance, while the Sauvignon delivers freshness, and the Semillon provides the generous and rich mouth-feel.
