“Such a vibrant nose. There is discreet plushness from the red-fruit profile.
Racy, fresh plums, cherry pie and some freshly turned earth and mushrooms.
A wine that is all about drinkability, drenched in a textured, medium-bodied palate.
Long and super delicious now. Fresh mushrooms at the end. Why wait?”

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red in colour with expressive aromas of raspberry, blueberry, and black cherry, layered with caramel, chocolate, and toffee. The palate shows refined tannins, rich texture and elegant structure. Full-bodied yet balanced, with a long, persistent finish. Perfect with roasted lamb chops or beef stew in red wine.
