Tasting Notes:
'Vibrant ruby in colour with violet edging, this is beautifully measured, with a careful release of black fruits. Puts the focus on the floral side of Cabernet Sauvignon, with rose petals, chamomile, fragrant tomato leaf and lilac. There is austerity on the opening, with tight architecture but as it opens juice begins to flow through the pumice and slate-textured tannins, and this delivers a finessed, slim-style of Pauillac, with plenty of ageing potential and quiet confidence. One of the successes of the vintage. Harvest September 26 through to October 11. 3.8ph, 50% new oak, 35% concrete amphoras. Tasted twice'

Fully biodynamic, sustainable and and organic estate now. 2024 proved a year for the winemaking team to be patient to be perfect. They vinified every single plot of vines seperately when each plot was ripe enough to do so, parcel by parcel. It was a year in which meticulous winemaking and precise decisions were made.
Rich Black Fruits, cool fresh minerality with fine integrated tannins. Cassis and Huckleberry fruits with a fine length and mouthfilling roundness.
