Dense purple-black. Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. The finish is long and savoury. A benchmark for the region.

Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Rounded, generous and supple. A benchmark for the region.

Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Elegant, fresh and persistent. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Inky violet core. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Dense and structured, built to age. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Lovely fresh-cut grass and gooseberry. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Will happily buy again.

Vivid salmon pink. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. The aftertaste is bright and mineral. Excellent with roast lamb and herbs. Outstanding value for the price.

Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Rounded, generous and supple. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Crystalline pale gold. Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. The finish is long and savoury. Punches well above its weight.

Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Silky texture and great length. A benchmark for the region.
