Tasting Notes

Ruby red in colour, the nose offers clear notes of ripe, red fruit and wild blackberries, accompanied by subtle vanilla, nutmeg, and sweet cinnamon touches from the oak ageing. The palate is refreshing, with good acidity and fruit expression and smooth, juicy tannins. Black and red fruit emerge here, with an elegant and persistent finish.
