The Range
These back vintage All Saints Estate wines are special wines that are carefully cellared deep inside the castle and released only when they are at their peak for your drinking pleasure.The Wine
Named in honour of Peter Brown on the date of his 60th birthday, this wine now carries far more resonance for all who work or play here at All Saints Estate. This wine is a carefully crafted blend of the traditional French varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Merlot (25%) and Cabernet Franc 13%. Each of these varieties brings something special to the blend: Cabernet Sauvignon the lovely berry flavours and fine tannins, Merlot a rich mid-palate, and the Cabernet Franc gives lifted floral notes.Variety
All these varieties make up (in varying proportions) the famous Clarets of the Bordeaux region. They flower, set and ripen at different times, which is a shrewd way of spreading risk and resources. As with all blends, the intention is to make something which is greater than the sum of the parts.Winemaking
The varieties were all picked and fermented separately in the old open concrete tanks at the castle. They were hand plunged then gently pressed out in our old basket press, and aged in our best oak prior to blending and bottling.
On release the wine will be great with all kinds of dishes; however the tannins are quite firm so avoid anything too spicy. Given a few years in bottle, the wine will be a perfect partner to roast beef.

With its combination of fine tannins and great depth of fruit, this wine will benefit from a prolonged spell in bottle. It can be enjoyed now with all its lush and vibrant flavours, or laid down for up to a decade to develop greater complexity."Lifted and perfumed red berry bouquet, with anise and some brambly complexity; the palate reveals juicy red fruits and firm drying tannins to conclude. Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc." Halliday Wine Companion, August 2011
