Tasting note
Elegant and silky, with generous mulberry and blackberry notes. Delicate oak is used to match and support the fine palate structure, without dominating its distinctive cool climate character. The finish is drawn out with hints of cedar, nutmeg and fragrant bay leaf. This is a beautifully balanced wine ready to enjoy now or cellar in the medium term.
