Border Vines 2020

Our 2020 Border Vines is the first Bordeaux blend from Moon Curser to feature Merlot since 2014. This means this vintage truly is a blend of all six Bordeaux varieties. This wine is a dry, medium to full-bodied red wine with a deep ruby colour, and is our go-to for a versatile red wine with excellent depth, complexity of flavours and structure. Notes of blackberry, rose, plum and eucalyptus leap out of the glass on the nose. On the palate, this wine is mouth-filling with incredible weight and fresh acidity to balance. The nose is complemented by flavours of blackcurrant, white pepper, cocoa and black cherry. Malbec and Petit Verdot share the stage this year, showcasing fresh notes of mint and lavender. There is great length to the finish and a good concentration of flavours in this vintage, which makes this wine approachable right out of the gate. However this wine will also reward those with patience, as it will benefit from aging in the bottle over the next five to eight years or through to 2027 - 2030.
