A harmonious blend of fruit from the S.L.V. and FAY estate vineyards, this wine embodies the philosophy of creating “wines of classic beauty,” driven by an obsessive attention to detail and respect for terroir.

Tasting Notes
Cask 23 captivates with an enchanting bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and blackberry, intertwined with subtle notes of violet, graphite, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, it is both powerful and graceful, showcasing layers of dark fruits, cocoa, espresso, and hints of dried herbs. The fine-grained tannins provide a silky structure, while a vibrant acidity adds freshness. The finish is long and memorable, echoing the wine’s remarkable balance and depth. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or mushroom risotto. Its complexity also complements aged cheeses like Gruyère or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
