Tasting Notes

The nose is complex and forthcoming, offering red plums, cranberry, pomegranate and enticing spicy aromas. Fresh cherries and the red fruit of the nose follow through onto a very balanced, well-rounded, smooth palate, also showing dark berry fruit, nectarine and white cling peach flavours. The wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textured with integrated natural acidity. It ends clean and fresh with an attractive dark berry note and hints of exotic spices and stone fruit. Great mouthfeel and complexity for a wine made in this style and a very versatile partner to everything from seafood to hot Thai dishes.
