About this winery

A wet stone nuance to the nose with blackcurrant fruit but also a savoury element. Succulent and juicy on the palate, chewy and bright. This is a gourmet style, round, approachable, majoring on red fruits - pomegranate, red plum and red cherry. Plush and voluptuous while also being quite elegant. Chewy and grippy - very vibrant and alive with a charming texture from the tannins giving support and then a chalky, mint aspect comes through on the finish. A round, rich style just giving a great mouthful of approachable wine.
