Some of the wines we make are all about a single vineyard site expressing itself while winemakers try to stay out of the way. Blending varieties and vineyards, on the other hand, allows us to play around a little, like a chef with a countertop of great ingredients. Ah, the possibilities! Combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc is hardly trail-blazing stuff, but you would be amazed at how much we can change a wine with a 1% flip of the switch. It’s an endlessly fascinating process.

The classic Bordeaux blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 12 months in barrel before being blended to bottle.

All the savoury stuff. Grilled steak with herbed butter, shepherd’s pie, lentil ragout with rosemary, pasta Bolognese, hard cheeses. & burgers, meaty or otherwise...
