Wine Description
The wine mesmerises with its deep purple-red hue, radiating a brilliant intensity that commands attention and evokes a sense of opulence. Immerse yourself in a sensory delight as the wine's enticing aromas unfold. A lavish compote of mixed berries dominates the bouquet, with ripe blackberries taking the lead and captivating the senses. Mingling with the blackberries, the subtle presence of mulberry leaf and mint adds a refreshing herbal dimension that balances the fruitiness. A touch of cedar lends an alluring woody note, while delicate hints of violets grace the nose, imparting a touch of floral elegance.
Prepare for a harmonious dance of flavours on the palate. Sweet and dark
fruits take centre stage, their richness perfectly counterbalanced by the presence of
fine tannins, creating a well-rounded and velvety mouthfeel. Indulge in the enchanting
taste of blackcurrants, their juicy intensity delighting the senses. The freshness of
mint interweaves with the dark fruits, infusing the palate with a revitalising touch. A
subtle hint of menthol elevates the experience, leaving a cool and invigorating
sensation that lingers.
