Wine Profile
Tasting notes
Rosehip, mulberry, musk sticks and glazed cherries with a subtle earthy graphite note. Palate is cherries and cranberries, background spices of cinnamon with a twiggy tannin. Finishes crisp and a little savoury. Looks fresh and juvenile now but will develop beautifully over the next few years.
