MACINTYRE ARDUA
MERLOT 90% | CABERNET FRANC 10%
This wine is inspired by the great wines of Pomerol. The bouquet is of blackberry jam, ripe blueberry and blackcurrant. This core of dark fruit is complemented by earthy notes and licorice with an underlying herbal thread. The palate is full-bodied and generous, with a layered texture and extremely long finish. Decant for drinking now or cellar for 10 to 15 years.

MACINTYRE ASTRA
75% BARREL FERMENTED | 25% STEEL FERMENTED
This vintage of Astra leans heavily toward the style of Chablis, although there is some oak influence. Aromas of green apple, lemongrass and lime zest precede a palate filled with tropical notes and a distinct minerality. Acidity is bright and crisp, which gives the wine extended ageing potential.
