Classic Left Bank claret, polished and composed, with cassis and cedar under perfect manners. It tastes of Manderley's grand dining room, where everything gleams and the past is never quite gone.
The Pour
1
Chateau Lanessan Haut-Medoc
Full-bodied red๐ซ๐ท Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux, France ยท Cabernet Sauvignon blend
2
Ruffino Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale
Medium-bodied red๐ฎ๐น Tuscany, Italy ยท Sangiovese
Structured and traditional, with cherry, leather and a careful poise. A wine for the second Mrs. de Winter, finding her footing amid old rules and other people's memories.

Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port
Fortified red๐ต๐น Douro Valley, Portugal ยท Touriga Nacional blend
Sweet, deep and dark, the kind of bottle that waits in the cellar long after the guests have gone. A final glass for the last pages, when Manderley's secrets finally come to light.
The Mood
A masterpiece of gothic suspense where romance and menace intertwine. Du Maurier's atmospheric prose creates a haunting atmosphere steeped in secrets and lingering shadows.
