🍷 Tasting Notes

Appearance
Brilliant and deep, with vibrant magenta tones and a rich crimson hue.

Aroma
Black cherry and blackberry dominate, supported by ripe plum, fig, and a whisper of earth. Hints of black pepper, cocoa, and African violet lift the bouquet with complexity and allure.

Palate
Luscious and mouth-filling. Dark fruits like blackcurrant and plum are complemented by black pepper, clove, and soft oak spice. Silky tannins lend structure, while notes of vanilla and dark chocolate offer a plush, lingering finish.

Finish
Long, smooth, and finely balanced – savoury, spicy, and satisfyingly dry.

🍽️ Food Pairing

• Chargrilled Meats – Think ribeye, lamb chops, or venison with peppercorn sauce.
• Aged Cheddar & Hard Cheeses – The wine’s structure pairs beautifully with bold cheese.
• Earthy Dishes – Mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, or lentil-based mains.
