With five months of barrel aging in 77% neutral French oak, along with the expected stainless-steel barrels, the outcome is a salty sea breeze with a caress of lemon chiffon and pear tart. White jasmine rice adds a clean note along with fresh linen and candied pineapple. Crisp, with a vanilla coating on the palate.
Alluring notes of honeysuckle and wispy lime chiffon, with a base of meringue and guava. All stainless steel fermented, this aromatic gem is lithe with a balanced acid structure.
Ripe and rich, with graphite and earth tones. Blackberry-espresso is deeply knit into the fabric of the wine, its suede tannins making way for a juicy flow of vanilla-cedar on the finish.
Intensity meets poise in this estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc. Notes of grapefruit and wet stone come seasoned with savory herbs like thyme and oregano plus a dash of white pepper on both the nose and the palate, which is decidedly crisp with lemon and orange zest but not without some gloss and weight thanks to partial fermentation in French oak. The tang of green tomato on the finish is subtle but no less seductive for that.
This components of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot were fermented and barrel-aged separately for 20 months in French oak barrels, then combined to create Five Sisters Blend. Black cherries, coffee, and dark chocolate thread through plush tannins. There’s an old-world style here, with an earthy, mineral-driven core. Plum and cassis drive along a silky path towards the long finish.
Stamina and charm are delivered by this majestic red, as it wraps itself around the palate. Coffee and black forest cake are exquisitely entwined. Elegant tannins are surrounded by violets, dark chocolate, and sandalwood.
Saffron and buttercup envelop tangerine cream and caramel apple. Delightfully expansive on the palate, with a woodsy persona accentuating peanut brittle and lemon meringue. Could not be more engaging.
With a foundation of lemon-vanilla cream, the salinity pulls through with a cool streak of acidity. This white has body and style all its own.
