2008 Cabernet Tempranillo Merlot

Blending trials produced this unusual blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Tempranillo (32%) and Merlot (32%).

 Cabernet gives the wine structure and lifted sweet raspberry characters. Tempranillo lends spicy flavours while the Merlot offers hints of violets on the nose and a soft velvety texture. It was matured in a mixture of American and Hungarian Oak hogsheads for 12months before bottling.

This wine may be appreciated now or cellarded with confidence.
