This Wine is made from one clone of Cabernet Sauvignon planted on Edgebaston. The wine displays Cabernet Sauvignon cassis and blackcurrant fruit on the nose as well as having a fresh minty, herbaceous ness backed by mocha vanilla. A broad midpalate and long lasting flavours of Boysenberry and hints of sweet Mulberry follow through to join with the fresh Vanilla and Nutmeg spice on the finish. Firm structured tannins and a long finish on the palate show great ageing potential. 

Soil Type: Malmesbury Shale on deep red clay.

Harvest Date: Late March 2017.
All grapes were hand picked and fermented in Stainless Steel Tanks.

Maturation: 100% New French Oak - Nevers, Allier, Medium Toasted. Maturation in new 300l French oak barrels for 18 months.
