$100.00
New tasting notes will be written after our virtual tasting together! Join us on Thursday 6th August at 6pm to be a part of it.
Bright ruby garnet in colour, this wine is highly aromatic, perfumed with ripe red and yellow cherry and very spiced. Warm, sweet Moroccan aromatics abound, with pomegranate and rose petals, a touch of musk and anise.
Palate reflects the nose with elegant and pretty red fruit and spice. The wine shows a generosity of mid-palate, and finishes with good acid and firm, silky tannins. Very good length with subtle power; complete and round.
Match to roast bird – chicken, quail or duck will all work beautifully with this wine.
Description
The 2010 Vintage
The 2009/2010 season was fantastic and very much welcomed after the stress of the previous year. A beautiful vintage with just the right amount of rain and sunshine, no disease pressure and everything went like clockwork, resulting in lovely small, ripe berries. A vintage of no excuses!
