Lourensford Limited Release SMV
KSh15,400.00
An opulent and expertly crafted Rhône-style blend, offering a complex tapestry of dark fruit, exotic spice, and a seamless, velvety finish.
The Art Of The Blend Perfected The Lourensford Limited Release SMV is a testament to the estate’s commitment to precision and balance. The Shiraz forms the structural backbone with its rich dark fruit, the Mourvèdre introduces an earthy, savory depth, and a touch of Viognier—co-fermented with the reds—lifts the aromatics with a delicate floral perfume. Aged in select French oak, this wine is full-bodied and multi-layered, showing incredible integration between its spicy oak character and its concentrated fruit core. It is a “serious” wine designed for the connoisseur, offering both immediate pleasure and the potential for graceful aging.
