Sirius

AOC Bordeaux Red

The grapes are carefully selected before being fermented and aged in oak in exactly the same way as the Grands Crus Classés of Graves and Pessac-Léognan. Sirius Red is situated at the high end of the Bordeaux category and the emphasis is on balance, finesse and the mutually complementary aromas of the three Bordeaux grape varieties, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. A discreet, pared-down label for a modern chic, wine, equally ideal for trendy bistros or gourmet restaurants. Also exists in White.

    VINTAGE 2018

    TASTING NOTES

    True to previous vintages, Sirius 2018 is superbly coloured; a brooding crimson with dark purple tints heralds in the richness which awaits the taster. The expressive bouquet of black fruits, blackcurrant and black cherry, imparts astonishing complexity which evolves towards elegant toasty notes and vanilla aromas - the fruit of superb wine craftsmanship. On the palate, finely balanced tannins are wrapped in smooth, creamy extract, offering immediate pleasure and a succulence that goes on and on. A fresh, fruity back-of-palate signs off this great Bordeaux with a flourish.

    AGEING

    It will be enjoyed wonderfully from 2020 and offers a potential for aging for several years.

    VINTAGE 2020

    TASTING NOTES

    Sirius is made from a selection of our best plots coupled with meticulous vinification it offers all the generosity and character of its terroir. The dark color, with garnet highlights, is extended by an expressive nose with notes of perfectly ripe fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry, sweet spices and an elegant touch of lightly toasted wood. On the palate, the delicious tannins are coated in a fleshy and silky matter giving it balance and remarkable length. Certainly a proud ambassador of the Great Wines of Bordeaux

    AGEING

    To be enjoyed within 3 to 8 years following the vintage.
