"The Robust. This robust blend of Syrah with Cabernet Franc typically conveys forest-fruit on the nose with undertones of tobacco, black and bell pepper. Due to the heavy humidity at night in late August 2017, we decided to harvest the Syrah early in September alongside the Cabernet Franc: this to mitigate the risk of downy mildew setting in the intensely compact bunches of our Syrah clones. The fruit was already ripe and the sugar enough to yield 13.5% alcohol by volume.

Compared to older vintages of this blend, albeit still very young, this vintage is open, forthcoming, well-rounded and ready to drink. This said, its length in the mouth and structure augur that it will age with grace for at least a decade. It carries forest-fruit and plum on the nose with a subtle undertone of anise which tends to grow wild on this terroir. The spice of the Cabernet Franc comes through the ripe fruit of the Syrah. As I taste this wine, I think moderately spiced lamb tagine, truffle, mushroom and gorgonzola risotto, roasted pumpkin, beef stew, BBQ… Owners’ Tasting Notes – May 2019"


"Round, ripe, velvety with a great finesse. Beautiful fruit flavours (ripe strawberries and prune) with extremely soft/integrated tannins. Good balance already, very pleasant to drink!"
