Why you'll love it
A Bordeaux-inspired blend, offering the best of the 5 noble varieties of Bordeaux in one delicious bottle.
Vibrant red berries, wild herbs and a touch of spice. Fresh, medium-bodied and silky.
Perfect with roast beef, lamb chops or mushroom Wellington.
Best known in Loire Valley, Bordeaux
Lighter and more fragrant than its famous offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon. Red berries, violets, graphite and a leafy freshness. In the Loire it shines on its own; in Bordeaux it adds perfume to the blend.
Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile
Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.
Best known in Bordeaux, Australia, Spain
A Bordeaux blending grape used in small doses for colour, spice and structure. Deep violet, with blackcurrant, violets and firm tannins. In warmer places such as Australia and Spain it ripens fully and makes powerful wines on its own.
South Africa
The Napa Valley of South Africa — beautiful, prestigious, home to many of the country's most celebrated estates. Granite and sandstone soils, cooling maritime influence from False Bay, and a commitment to Cabernet and Chenin Blanc that results in some of the southern hemisphere's finest wines.
