Description

A refined and elegant hand-crafted Merlot dominant blend that represents both the vigneron’s art and an inherent understanding of the land, ensuring ‘Sophia’ is the finest expression of the terroir and the people. ‘Sophia’, meaning ‘wisdom’ in Greek mythology, pays tribute to the goddess of knowledge and experience, information and understanding - a philosophy adopted by our winemakers and viticulturists when crafting this wine.

Review

Rich, plush nose, sweet vanillin oak. Soft ripe plum and berry fruit with milk chocolate and truffle. Enveloping and complex with some early earthy development showing for such a young wine. Baking spice, bayleaf, cocoa, coffee. Very well trimmed palate with mid-weight flavours and good length finishing on noticeably fresh acidity. Smooth tannins provide flow and structure but don't dominate. Approachable and elegant but clearly able to develop in the mid-term

Tasting Profile
nose

Deep, dark garnet red. Intensely aromatic, with notes of mulberry, blackcurrant, and mocha. Gorgeous and distinctly open.

palate

It is very approachable, with darker cherries, cinnamon, and chocolate flavours flowing seamlessly through the palate. It is effortlessly pure, allowing immediate enjoyment, although it’s evident the pedigree of this site is built for time.
