About This Wine

Winemaking features open-top stainless steel tanks and French oak cuves, followed by 14 months of maturation. Closure is screwcap.
Tasting Notes
James Suckling (tasted Feb 2025)
Perfumed aromas of wild strawberries, potpourri, dark cherries and citrus peel. Medium-bodied palate with integrated tannins, balanced acidity and flavours of red apples, graphite, hibiscus and pureed raspberries. Refined and pure with a savoury edge. Drink or hold.
