This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the best fruit that grew in a small vineyard block at Maso Martis. An ideal habitat that gives the wine characters of minerality. The limited quantity of grapes, and ultra-careful maturation, yields a Cabernet of fine structure and bouquet, enhanced by cask ageing.
