Description

"Perfumed and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet and almond characters, leading to a succulent palate that offers excellent fruit purity and persistency. It's fleshy and textured with juicy flavours, making it immensely drinkable. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2020

"Fragrant, delicately-perfumed and fruit-focused red with floral, violet, berry, cherry, spice, anise and pepper flavours. A supple and appealing wine with plenty of freshness and energy. Terrific value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jul 2020

Bright crimson in colour, with luscious and exotic aromas of cherries, boysenberry and hints of white pepper and violets. A full bodied palate that is framed by flavours of sweet Turkish delight and cherries. Velvety tannins provide a perfect complement to the cherry ripe finish which shows the synergy between the Shiraz and Viognier.

The grapes selected for this wine display perfumed and aromatic characteristics of Shiraz that complement the fragrance of Viognier. Everything is done to preserve this aroma: cool fermentation, the addition of Viognier (including as many whole berries as possible) and no oak ageing. These combine to produce a wine that is bright, aromatic and exotic.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with beef skewers or Moroccan spiced grilled eggplant covered in sautéed ripe tomatoes, chilli and fresh herbs.
