Tasting Experience

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red with hints of garnet shimmer at the edges.
  • Nose: Intense aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a touch of sweet spice like clove and cinnamon. Subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak emerge as the wine opens up.
  • Palate: A generous mouthful of sun-kissed fruit flavours. Expect juicy black cherry and plum leading into hints of dried fig and a touch of dark chocolate. The tannins are soft and velvety, providing a beautifully smooth texture. A long, satisfying finish lingers with notes of spice and a subtle earthiness.

  • Robust: Perfect with grilled meats, succulent lamb dishes, or flavorful stews.
