A blend of five red varieties well documented as soul-mates in France’s Bordeaux region, an inspiration certainly, imbued here with the unique characters of Koonowla’s much-loved Bass Hill estate vineyard west of Auburn. Each vintage the blend changes depending on how each variety has performed, in 2020 the makeup resulting in: Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Malbec (22%), <span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;">Petit Verdot (22%), Carmenere (10%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The growing season encouraged beautifully even ripening so that the fruit quality was supreme, demanding the finest treatment in the winery including 50% new French oak maturation.
