Colour
A lustrous ruby red.
Nose
Fragrant red liquorice and star anise immediately escape the bottle when opened.
The grenache vibrancy is obvious with primary youthfulness a hero element … an instant allure!
Blackberry and mulberry fruits develop, berry leafiness ties in seamlessly.
Cardamom, fresh fennel and caraway seed provide intrigue once the wine is energetically swirled.
Palate
A velvet-like plushness fills the palate.
Notes of honey roasted beetroot, glazed carrots, spring roasted vegetables … the palate continues to expand!
Exotic thyme, mustard seeds and African spices pepper the palate….
Bright cherry vibrancy and cranberry succulence … the most obvious varietal hallmarks.
Pithy tannins focus the palate and oak barely mentioned. In fact, not even once.
