Learn more about L'If

The vineyard is planted with a mix of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with an emphasis on Merlot. L'If follows a traditional winemaking approach, focusing on minimal intervention and allowing the grapes to express their natural characteristics. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before fermentation. The wines are aged in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and structure to the final product.

L'If produces a limited range of wines, including a flagship red wine made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, typically displaying rich fruit flavours, fine tannins, and a long, lingering finish.
