Montague Estate Dextra 2021

Dextra (meaning ‘right hand’ or ‘right side’ in Latin) is our homage to the exquisite wines of Bordeaux’s Right Bank (northern side of the Dordogne River). These wines, being predominately Merlot-based have long been a quiet favourite of ours with their softer mouth feel and their fruit weight. Cottage herbs, violets, and bay leaves spill immediately out of the glass, with just a hint of blood and sandalwood. Soft blue fruits chase the bouquet onto the palate and swirl together with notes of raspberry, baking spice, and pencil lead. Time in the glass will see glimpses of black olive and charcuterie on the nose. The 2021 Dextra is a soft, fine-boned wine. Pretty and elegant, gentle, yet thought-provoking.

The 2021 vintage is 57% Merlot 29% Cabernet Franc 14% Petit Verdot

Ray Jordan 93 Points –
This is a 57% merlot, 29% cabernet franc and the rest petit verdot. Has had 13 months in a mix of seasoned Hungarian and French oak hogsheads. Has a bright violet and red berry perfume. IT’s medium bodied with a lovely aromatic. The red berry characters are well to the fore. It’s a medium bodied wine, displaying elegance and poise. The chalky tannins accentuate its linear palate profile. Well-crafted and idea as a wine for drinking in the short term, while those vibrant buoyant fruit characters are dominant.
