Description
"It is attractively fruited on the nose showing dark plum, cherry, floral, spice and toasted nut characters. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours and smooth mouthfeel, beautifully framed by silky tannins. The wine is well proportioned and fruity, making it very enjoyable. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2018
The Stables Reserve range is a fruit driven varietal collection produced from small parcels of premium grapes from selected vineyards. These food friendly wines have good palate weight and are styled to bring out the true varietal character of the region.
Deep red in the glass with a bouquet that is full and fruity, with plum, blackberry, savoury leather and vanillin oak. Palate is soft and round. This wine is well balanced with a fresh plum and berry flavour. Fine tannins add a gentle texture and subtle oak lingers on the palate.
Can be enjoyed now or up to 7 years from vintage.
Food Pairing: This food friendly wine pairs well with a range of rich meats such as beef, lamb or confit of duck
