This wine, dark-hued and intensely aromatic, is presented with a smooth, lingering finish that resonates on the palate. Truly, it's a sublime choice for a cosy evening, relished best with a gratifying meal. Experience magic in every sip of this beautifully vintage-crafted wine.

Tasting Notes

The old vines deliver a generous and expressive wine, with underlying elegance. Hints of bay leaf, mint and pepper weave seamlessly around dark berry, spice and plum fruits with herbal and cedar oak derived complexity. Perfect with roast beef.
