Top of the range. Shiraz & Grenache, vinified separately and only the very best barrels of each variety selected, blended and matured in oak for a total of 24 months to fully express the balanced, yet somewhat "wild" somewhat bohemian character of these 2 noble varieties at maximum extract. Spice and vanilla scents. |
