Winemaker's Comments
Ruby garnet in colour. Ripe dark berry and plum flavours with subtle oak spice on the nose. Grippy tannins, and a well-rounded finish. Grippy and tart palate with juicy red berry on the aftertaste. Drink through 2030
Food Pairing Suggestion
Ideal with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck breast, tomato-based pasta dishes and semi-mature cheeses.
