Nose

Redcurrant, salted raspberry and blackcurrant fruits lead into savoury notes of olive, bay leaf and tobacco spice.

Palate

The medium-weighted palate unfolds in layers of fruit, savoury herbs, dark chocolate, and subtle oak spice. A soft and juicy mid-palate is supported by a framework of powder-fine tannins which add structure and length.

Winemaking

18 months maturation in a combination of 20% new and 80% seasoned French oak barriques from a selection of renowned Bordeaux cooperages.

Aging

This finely structured wine is drinking well now, but will continue to evolve over the next 5-6 years.

Appearance

Dark crimson red with black tints.

Food Pairing

A perfect Friday night pizza or pasta wine.
