Composed of free-run and press-fractions found in both Mystae and Magna Praemia, the name ‘Destinae’ captures the essence of all Destiny Bay wines. With a higher percentage of Merlot, this blend is more “Right Bank” Bordeaux in style. Approachable at a young age, Destinae offers complex dark fruit aromas and has the potential to age for a decade or more.

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES:
Clad in a dark garnet with a blue tinge, this Destinae presents a chorus of aromas that range from crushed black cherries, to graphite and pencil shavings overlaid with French vanilla and underpinned with faint strawberry notes. On the palate, the wine is rich and generous with fine-grained tannins and concentration in perfect alignment. The mid-palate carries on with ripe red and dark fruit characters before giving way to a syrupy and honey-like texture with just a touch of dark chocolate on its lengthy finish. Once again, Destinae highlights the brilliance of fruit from the Destiny Bay site. Expect
this wine to offer increasing complexity over the next 5-7 years in the cellar.
ENJOY FROM: 2-12+ years from vintage

Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
