MAXWELL LITTLE DEMON RED CABERNET MERLOT 2014

Appearance: Intense purple colour 

Nose: Generous nose of vanilla, raspberry and spices

Palate: The palate shows both the persistence and depth of Cabernet, and the smooth influence of Merlot. Light savoury notes of black tea blend with more obvious cherry, mulberry and blackberry. Subtle oak and interlacing soft tannins contribute to the velvety palate and soft finish

About the wine: In 1871 Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell (Mark Maxwell’s Great Grandfather) proposed a thought experiment, that involved a hypothetical creature acting as a gatekeeper between two compartments to sort gas molecules according to their speed. At first glance, such a system could potentially create energy from nothing… theoretically impossible given the laws of physics. This hypothetical gatekeeper became known to physicists as Maxwell’s Little Demon, and has stirred debate in the science community for more than a century
