Blend of; Cornalin, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in a 3 ha vineyard in Flanthey, Valais with yields of 30hl per hectare. 5 to 7 days of maceration before fermentation in conical oak vats. Different varieties are aged for 23 months seperately in barriques before blending. Deep, inky garnet. Intense aromas of black cherry and currant jam framed with smoke, spice, bitter chocolate and balsamic notes. Round, velvety yet intense and focused with good fruit concentration.

Black red with purple highlights. Dark plum and blackberry fruit with orange zest and vanilla. Highly extracted fruit flavours the full body and abundant medium fine grained tannins. The finish features abundant fruit, balsamic notes, liquorice and tannins that will continue to benefit from ageing.

DWCC Iconic Swiss Varietals with Mr. Paolo Basso (Montreux, Switzerland): Interesting nose, herbal and a bit spicy. Vigorous and quite powerful on the palate although rather international. Very ripe. Searing and powerful tannins.
