Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby-red with purple hues.

  • Nose: Intense aromas of red plum, raspberry, and hints of earth and savoury spice.

  • Palate: Pristine fruit sits at the core, framed by ultra-fine, slightly chewy tannins that extend the wine’s length and line. Shows both richness and restraint.

  • Finish: Long, poised, and balanced, with lingering fruit and subtle savoury complexity.
