Floral and elegant nose with crisp aromas of red cherry and blue fruit underpinned by minerality and graphite. The palate shows great freshness with a thread of fine acidity with spice.

Mossman and Peña personally oversee every step of the process, meticulously nurturing their grapes from the vineyard to the vat, ensuring a wonderful medley of intense flavours and complex aromas.
