WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS

Where most of the wines in the portfolio are special occasion wines, this medium-bodied blend is intended for everyday enjoyment. However, it too is sourced entirely from the estate, and while unpretentious it is well-crafted with its soft tannins, juicy black fruit and hints of warm spice and chocolate from careful wooding.
