Now back in stock! Season 2017 2017 was a more challenging vintage in Bordeaux following three very successful years. A warm finish to the winter months started an early bud break before they were checked by a late April frost that impacted directly on the westerly rows of our Merlot vineyard. The year continued warm to hot (especially June) before heavy rains finally arrived. The harvest was again early before further rain arrived. The Paradise Rescued vineyards required a lot of hands on work to mitigate the rapidly changing weather. The fruit was somewhat heterogenous and small in total quantity requiring a lot of attention at harvest to hand pick the best.The organic wines are fruity forward and easy to drink in the Paradise Rescued tradition. Paradise Rescued BlockTwo 2017 is a 75% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc Bordeaux blend. ABV 13.5% Silver Medal Winner at the 2023 London Wine Competition David's comment "Our BlockTwo 2017 MerlotCabFranc continues to demonstrate the elegance of Bordeaux Merlot CabFranc blends. Although less powerful than the preceding three vintages, 2017 starts to explore the potential of the Merlot block. It is a fruity wine that is beautiful to drink right now or during the following few years." David Stannard, Owner.
