This estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterpiece of structure and balance. Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plum, and blackberry are elegantly layered with notes of cedar, graphite, and a touch of dark chocolate.

The finish is seamless and enduring, reflecting the estate’s dedication to crafting wines that embody sophistication and terroir-driven expression. Perfect for ageing or savouring now, it’s a wine that speaks of heritage and finesse.
