Funambule refers to "perfect balance", that of the tightrope walker portrayed on the front label. It is comprised of one-half Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah and a splash of Merlot.
It's a very approachable red, which is loaded with plush ripe aromas such as cassis and chocolate covered cherries and vanilla. It has fine grained tannins across the palate lending it a powdery texture, balanced acidity keeps it fresh and the finish is medium-length and quite smooth with spiced cocoa flavours.
An international style, which will please a crowd.
