Our Heavenly Chaos owes its name to the fact that it is not a ‘designed’ blend but is opportunistic in the sense that we blend the Merlot, on which it is based, with whatever is left in the barrels after bottling our other wines. This accounts for the ‘chaos’ part in its name as this blend has a different composition every year though it’s always led by our (Single Vineyard) Merlot. It is ‘heavenly’ because it always results in an extremely smooth and quaffable and yet serious wine. The 2019 vintage consists of Merlot (41%), Cabernet Franc (41%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (18%). In contrast to our other red wines, which are all very bold, the Heavenly Chaos is somewhat lighter in style, due to the Merlot being a 'lighter' style of cultivar. As such, the Heavenly Chaos is a perfect summer or lunch red wine, which can be enjoyed at a slightly cooler temperature than bolder red wines (at around 15-16 degrees Celsius). As it is vinified in exactly the same way as all our other red wines, it has the same ageing potential. It is perfect to enjoy now or within (at least) the next 6-7 years.
