Wine Description
Inky purple with a vibrant hue, the 2022 RSW entices with a bouquet of dark plum, mocha and nutmeg, layered with subtle hints of charcuterie. The palate is luxurious and plush, unfolding mulberry compote, sweet baking spices and dark chocolate in harmonious layers. Fleshy fruits and integrated spice create a rich, polished expression that exemplifies McLaren Vale generosity and elegance.
