Isla Taster 🍷 Amateur 2023-07-10

Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. A benchmark for the region.

Amber and luminous. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Dense and structured, built to age. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Vivid salmon pink. Lovely a nose of citrus and white flowers. Silky texture and great length. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Nora W. 🍷 Amateur 2023-08-18

Bright garnet with brick edges. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Highly recommended.

Ava W. 🎓 Connoisseur 2023-07-05

Amber and luminous. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Amber and luminous. Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. A benchmark for the region.

Leo Palate 🎓 Connoisseur 2025-11-21

Deep ruby in the glass. Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Crystalline pale gold. Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. The finish is long and savoury. Pairs beautifully with grilled red meat. Punches well above its weight.
