“Each parcel of grapes was destemmed before a traditional warm-plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were then run to predominately new French oak barrels for 17 months maturation. Throughout this time, they were regularly topped and racked. The assemblage was made in October 2023 and the finished wine was bottled in December 2024. The final blend is 80% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot and 5% cabernet franc.

A regal brilliant magenta hue, with blackcurrant and brooding complexity on an immensely concentrated palate. Raspberry, white flowers, soy, and espresso, arise on driftwood smoke, creating a fresh, elevated, coastal sensation, in an intense, tannin-rich, sculptured wine thats captivating and irresistibly endless. This is Coleraine essence a majestic statement of a place, a time, and a lineage.

Coleraine is known for its longevity. While approachable in its youth, it typically reaches its peak after 1020 years, developing more complex tertiary notes like leather, truffle, and cigar box.”
