Wine Description
The wine exhibits a deep red-purple hue, exuding richness and allure,while maintaining a bright and vibrant appearance. Aromas of cassis, mulberries, and blackcurrants dominate the nose, immersing you in a world of dark and enticing fruits. The fragrance is further enhanced by the presence of mulberry leaf, lending an herbal freshness to the bouquet. Subtle earthy notes add depth and complexity, creating a sense of connection to the land. A delicate hint of bay leaf adds a touch of savoury allure, contributing to the overall aromatic tapestry. On the palate, the wine unveils a captivating display of dark blackcurrant fruits, inviting you to indulge in their lusciousness. The flavours are accompanied by lovely, fine-grained tannins that provide a remarkable sense of length and structure.
The tannins weave seamlessly with the fruit, creating a harmonious and balanced
mouthfeel. Each sip reveals the wine's complexity and depth, leaving a lasting
impression and a desire for more.
