Tasting Notes

Bright garnet in colour the nose is complex and lifted – aromas of red cherry, pomegranate molasses, licorice and crushed red rose petals vie with hints of clove and cinnamon spice, sandalwood, blood orange rind and cocoa.
On the palate the wine is crisp and fresh, with crunchy red cherry and ripe mulberry fruit.  The spice and herbal notes seen on the nose compete on the palate, composing a long, savoury finish to a deliciously velvety textured wine.
