    The wine

    This cuvée is made from 100% Syrah cultivated on a south-facing hillside and barrel-matured in new oak for 18 months. The property restricts yields to 35 hectolitres per hectare. The wine is deep purple in colour with a nose of blackberries, plums and cocoa, and a hint of wood. Its rich palate has a well-defined tannic structure that becomes more refined over time.
