Combining grapes from various terroir with a 14-month maturation in 225-litre predominantly French oak barrels, the result is a captivating combination of clove, nutmeg and black pepper as well as juicy mulberry fruit and subtle leathery tones. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy mid-palate and a complex, layered mineral finish.
Traditionally regarded as a bold varietal, this intricate red wine has been refined into an elegant style. Matured in ideal conditions in the Rupert Vinoteque on La Motte, this 15 L Nebuchadnezzar bottle promises exceptional drinking, while its generous size makes it perfect for a special celebration.
