“Crystalline pale gold; notes of cherry and dried herbs, dense and structured, built to age.”

Vivid salmon pink. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Rounded, generous and supple. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Ruby B. 🎓 Connoisseur 2026-09-10

Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Silky texture and great length. Punches well above its weight.

Liam Notes 🌱 Novice 2022-12-15

Inky violet core. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. A benchmark for the region.

Hazel M. 🎓 Connoisseur 2023-09-20

Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Punches well above its weight.

Ava Tasting 🍷 Amateur 2024-09-03

Dense purple-black. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. It finishes with polished, chalky tannins. Try it with mushroom risotto. Punches well above its weight.

Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. A solid, dependable choice.

Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. Will happily buy again.

Felix Cork 🍷 Amateur 2022-07-22

Inky violet core. Lovely a nose of citrus and white flowers. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. Will happily buy again.
