Flagstone Strata Series George's Blend 2002

Medium, deep red. The nose is a wonderfully expressive combination of ripe pinot noir and merlot characteristics. There is spicy, ripe strawberry, plum and chocolate. The palate is soft and very drinkable with some exotic spice and intriguing fruit combinations. There is cherry, chocolate, nutmeg, rosemary and vanilla all combining to produce a concentrated, balanced and elegant wine worthy of the many accolades and medals it has received.

Ostrich fillet in a reduced red wine sauce, or Eggs Benedict for Sunday brunch in winter.

in the cellar : This is our range of experimental, once-off and seriously adventurous wines collected under the name Flagstone Strata. By their very nature these wines are crafted in miniscule amounts – often, only a few barrels will ever exist. Each wine is characterised by its unique history and character. All are finely crafted as outstanding examples of their specific geographical situation and climatic influences.When they make it to the cellar, they are pushed to the limits of their winemaking possibilities.We encourage natural fermentation and steer clear of adding acid or fining agents. Some have not made it this far as a result.
