A pale straw gold. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. A benchmark for the region.

Max Tasting 🌱 Novice 2024-12-15

Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. Punches well above its weight.

Lucas M. 🌱 Novice 2026-08-19

Inky violet core. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. The finish is long and savoury. Excellent with roast lamb and herbs. A benchmark for the region.

Crystalline pale gold. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Bright garnet with brick edges. Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. The finish is long and savoury. Perfect for a festive aperitif. Will happily buy again.
