Inky violet core. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Rounded, generous and supple. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Dense purple-black. Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. The finish is long and savoury. Pairs beautifully with grilled red meat. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. A benchmark for the region.

Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. Punches well above its weight.

Bright garnet with brick edges. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. A warm, lasting finale. Will happily buy again.
