Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and upfront bouquet. Expect an immediate burst of ripe plums and blackberries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, clove, and a subtle hint of sweet oak.

Palate: Medium-bodied, succulent, and incredibly smooth. The palate is packed with dark berry fruit and mulberry, supported by supple, integrated tannins. There is a beautiful balance between the fruit purity and the savoury spice.

Finish: A clean and lingering finish. It leaves a savoury trail of baking spices and a final, refreshing whisper of toasty vanilla.
