The Cabernet proportion for Lady May comes from an east-facing vineyard on the highest, coolest part of the property, supplemented by dashes of Petit Verdot and Merlot, and increasingly more Cabernet Franc over the years. (Winemaker Luke O'Cuinneagain says there should have been some in this wine, but 100km/h winds destroyed the young vines.) This is still very youthful for its age, showing fresh blackcurrant and parma violet aromas alongside savoury meaty notes. The palate is full, open and forward, packed with sweet ripe mulberry fruit, but again with a minty blackcurrant lift to counter secondary umami-like characters of mushroom and beef broth.
