Aravina Estate Wildwood Ridge Reserve Stella BDX 2023

This sits at the pinnacle of the Aravina range and is clearly the finest example yet released. A classic blend of cabernet, merlot, malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot, each variety contributing to a complete and seamless whole. Powerful leafy blackcurrant and dark chocolate are lifted by a buoyant red fruit nuance. The palate is exquisitely defined and refined, with chalky tannins and a touch of oyster-shell minerality carrying the bright fruit through to a sustained finish. Beautiful purity and seamless focus.
