Tasting Notes
An amazing fruit forward wine with great complexity. The flavours of cherries, strawberries, red mulberries, pomegranate, liquorice, vanilla, red pepper and white pepper meet you on the nose. A very big structured wine with good fruit concentration on the palate. This fruit is carried through in a long lingering aftertaste.

A very balanced wine which can be enjoyed with mild curry dishes or a nice slow cooked brisket
