Nose
The nose is first spicy- cracked peppercorn, juniper, allspice berry- and intensely fruity with notes of red licorice and cherry, a mix of delicate blue fruit and ripe forest fruit.
Palate
The palate attack is juicy and intensely fruity. The red fruit acidity leads into a savoury palate of blood orange, English marmalade. A serious backbone of black but fine silky tannins and toasted oak leads to the long vanilla caramel finish.
Harvest
A mild growing season associated with moderate crop led to slow and even ripening during harvest 2021, preserving good acidity and balance while intensifying varietal characters across all the white and early red varieties.
