STONY BROOK – THE MAX 12/750mL

This wine has serious attitude and as was recently pointed out to us, it is now also full-bodied! The idea behind The Max is to create a wine that has huge ageing potential as well as round, rich flavours that allow the wine to be enjoyed in its youth. It is a Bordeaux-style blend, made up of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot with a little Petit Verdot and Malbec. All of the components were picked at full ripeness to ensure that the tannins, while firm and grippy, are also soft and round. The four varieties were matured in a combination of new and second-fill French oak barriques for 30 months before blending and bottling.
