Hand selected harvests of the finest Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc are sourced from the heart of the famous Terra Rossa strip, including precious parcels from the century old Nursery Vineyard, the oldest planting in Coonawarra. The idyllic growing conditions and extended ripening period yield limited harvests of intensely flavoured fruit of intense ripeness and velvet textured tannins. Pyrus relies upon a backbone of old vine Cabernet Sauvignon, fleshed out according to vintage, by varying components of Malbec, Merlot and Franc, to fashion into a rich yet refined and elegant wine. Pyrus is matured eighteen months in a selection of the finest French and American oak barrels.
