The Whalehaven Old Harbour Red is an immensely delicious wine with seductive aromas of blackcurrant, black berries and exotic pepper on the nose, followed by well-balanced nuances of fine liquorice and plums on the palate - notes that linger long in the velvety smooth finish. A wine that will certainly be remembered!

The grapes for this red cuvée, dominated by Merlot, were crushed and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. The malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks equipped with French and American oak staves. The wines matured for 10 months in fourth and fifth barrels of 225 litres of French, Hungarian and American oak, before being blended and bottled slightly refined.
