Tasting Note

Family Farm very often parades a note of tea, soil and occasionally something almost peaty on the finish. The 2016 opens up with an expressive but calm nose, all fragrant wild cherry and peppered strawberry notes that float from the glass. On the palate the texture is all limpid ripe fruit, suave acidity, seamless fine grained tannins as flavours of wild herb, peach and strawberry coalesce around this gentle peaty finish.
