There is plenty of sunshine to allow the grapes ample\u003cbr\u003eripeness, while the cool night-time temperatures seal in the acidity and\u003cbr\u003eincrease the potential for hangtime on the vine. With each vintage of The\u003cbr\u003eMax, the aim is to craft a wine that has huge ageing potential as well as rich,\u003cbr\u003eharmonious flavours that allow the wine to be enjoyed in its youth. The 2019\u003cbr\u003evintage is a four-way Cape Bordeaux-style blend, made up of 47% Cabernet\u003cbr\u003eSauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot, and 14% Petit Verdot. Matured\u003cbr\u003ein 50% new French oak barriques for 26 months before blending and bottling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Max 2019 is lighter on its feet than previous vintages, with playful yet\u003cbr\u003econcentrated red fruit aromatics and a touch of tobacco and cedar. The palate\u003cbr\u003eeffortlessly balances its plush fruit and moreish tannins in a dry, savoury\u003cbr\u003efinish.
