A juicy and moreish red blend that’s stacked with flavour

This blend of 46% Grenache, 37% Shiraz and 17% Touriga displays a very deep dark red black colour with a bright purple red hue. Fragrant aromas of freshly crushed dark raspberries and dark ripe cherries overlay some liquorice and inky earth nuances with faint spice end notes. Light in weight but long on flavour the palate boasts generous flavours of spicy dark cherries intermixed with a touch of liquorice and incense infusions over a background of inky earth with the spiciness persisting right through to the dry savoury finish. Slightly chewy tannins provide some backbone. Long aftertaste of spicy dark cherries, incense infusions and inky earth characters.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 14.5%
