The nose is canvased with a delightful bouquet of red currant and red cherry fruits gently infused with rose petals, subtle tobacco and light dusty earth. Mid weighted the highly savoury palate is layered with red currant and red cherry fruits which have a fresh feel. Dusty earth, dried herbs and delicate spicy tobacco characters ensue. Well integrated lively acidity with finely grained tannins and a long elegant red fruit driven aftertaste. Certified organic.

Other Reviews….
This is soft and juicy with a lovely, velvety texture and plenty of berry and currant flavors. Hints of chocolate, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with serious structure and a flavorful finish. Sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink from 2023.
