Description
Inspired by Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, the 66th Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem; a benevolent and sophisticated nobleman mostly remembered for the construction of the baroque Manoel Theatre. This is an opulent blend of Merlot (60%) with Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) aged in new French oak for 12 months.
Tasting Notes :
Deep, dark ruby red in color. Initially slightly resinous on the nose, before opening up to reveal notes of Mediterranean herbs, lots of ripe dark berries, fleshy undertones, dried tomatoes and summer truffles. The palate is tightly meshed, a well-balanced interplay of polished tannins, juiciness, and magnificent dark berry fruit. A wine of great finesse and length.
