This is a fantastic wine with an intense aroma of ripe red berries and light notes of oak. Making this wine is a true labour of love. Grapes are harvested by hand from 70 year old vines. The three varieties used - Carignan, Syrah and Grenache - are aged in separate oak barrels for 14 months and are only then blended to achieve powerful aromas of ripe red berries and fine spicy notes of oak. Very pleasant to the palate, meaty with a balsamic background.

A big wine with a deep red colour and a bold taste. Aged for 14 months in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered, this is a warm, full-bodied wine made from a glorious combination of equal parts Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Tempranillo. You'll experience an assortment of fruit aromas including black cherry, blueberry, and blackberry - some that are a little spicy - with a very long aftertaste. Best enjoyed when decanted.
Brunos is a positive explosion of fresh aromas and dark red fruits. Intense, bright and lively in colour, it's the result of a stunning mix of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah from vines between 30 and 50 years old. The mix doesn't stop with the choice of grapes. The vines themselves are chosen from different estates at different heights. In the wrong hands, this could be a mongrel of a wine. But Brunos is fresh to the palate, spicy with a well-balanced oak end - a pleasing elegant wine, full of body with a superior ripe berry taste. If you enjoy oaky wines, there's no mix up - this is one not to be missed!
