Description

The High Road Classique 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: Classique Bordeaux-style Blend of 41 % Merlot, 30 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Cabernet Franc, 8 % Petit Verdot and 6 % Malbec blend from Stellenbosch, South Africa

Notes of wild bramble fruit and ripe prune are evident on the nose, with hints of dried herbs and underlying notes of toasted oak and vanilla.

Winemaking Process: Each cultivar matured separately for up to 10 months in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels and blended for the best quality results
