This bottling is a distinctive selection of individual barrels sourced from our estate vineyards in Oakville. Our winemaker crafts the blend by choosing lots that showcase dark brooding hedonistic characteristics with dusty black fruits and an exotic floral lift. The barrels deliver wine of astounding purity and density.
The fruit source for this flagship blend is always anchored by our Leopoldina Vineyard with additional buttressing and lift from our Fortuna Vineyard. Both are Eastern Oakville sites featuring prolific volcanic red soils that lend richness and texture to the wines. The Leopoldina Vineyard high above the Valley floor gives a dark unctuousness power and structure to the wine. Sitting proudly on the alluvial fan below Leopoldina our Fortuna Vineyard provides textured tannins with dusted black fruit and spice notes.
