Tasting Notes
OUR NEW RELEASE! An exciting blend of Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Tannat and Shiraz Viognier. Aromas of raspberries, forest strawberries, cherries, liquorice, hint of mint and pine tree. Savoury, balanced and elegant on the palate with flavours of forest strawberries, cassis, ripe raspberries & a touch of toast and chocolate. Long and focused peppery finish. Is it the best one so far?
I wouldn’t mind this one slightly chilled (approx. 15 C) with prosciutto and other cured meat or some great homemade BBQ sausages.

Expert Reviews
91 points – Toni Paterson, The Real Review, April 2019
An intriguing aroma of pimento, spice and cranberries. The medium-bodied palate has a lovely roundness to it with red cherry fruit accented by sage and thyme. Good length and gentle drying tannins. Serve in a large glass to fully appreciate the layers.
90 points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review, Oct 2018
Medium to full red colour with a bare minimum of purple. The bouquet is a mixture of raspberry and fresh mint, stalks and berries. A curious wine, well outside the mainstream, and possessing a lot of charm. The sweetly-scented nose is captivating; the palate fruit-sweet, light-bodied, low tannin and delicious in what seems like a whole-bunchy style.
