Deep ruby in the glass. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. The finish is long and savoury. A benchmark for the region.

Dense purple-black. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Silky texture and great length. The aftertaste is bright and mineral. Pairs beautifully with grilled red meat. Outstanding value for the price.

Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Dense and structured, built to age. Punches well above its weight.

Inky violet core. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. The finish is long and savoury. Highly recommended.

Deep ruby in the glass. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. The finish is long and savoury. Perfect for a festive aperitif. Will happily buy again.

Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Highly recommended.

Inky violet core. Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Dense purple-black. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

A pale straw gold. Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. It finishes with polished, chalky tannins. Pairs beautifully with grilled red meat. A solid, dependable choice.
