This wine is made using the traditions of Bordeaux passed down by successive generations and is named the Reserve Pradines blend, in tribute to this legacy. The Reserve Pradines is aged 14 months in oak barrels.
On the nose the wine has intense raspberry aromas with subtle hints of cinnamon and flavour assault of black cherries, blackberries and a touch of vanilla. Medium-bodied with a lush and elegant mouthfeel. Finishes with a silky coating on the teeth, a little tannin on the tongue, and the taste of black cherries and cigar box.
On the palate the deep raspberry fruit is driven by fine tannins that create a gorgeous structure, balanced by a fresh acidity and a long after taste.
