Wine Description
Deep ruby, purple. Fragrant plum, mulberry and dark cherry fruit aromas show alongside delicate hints of chocolate and spice. On the palate the dark berry fruits and chocolate provide an embracing and welcoming creamy texture. A soft supporting tannin profile and refreshing acid line provides the framework to cut through a balanced sweetness leading into a long, clean savoury finish where the dark fruit rolls out and slightly lingers seductively
at the end.
