Tasting Notes:
This 2020 vintage has a slightly fuller mouthfeel than the previous few vintages, a slightly bolder wine. On the palate the dark and red berry flavours follow through combining with interesting savoury notes and just a touch of oak and a long lingering finish. The natural acidity makes it a perfect partner with a diversity of dishes – game fish, game birds and venison work very well, as does grilled beef and strong, hard cheese.

Bouquet:
The nose has delicate earthy aromas combined with red and dark berry flavours.
