Tasting Notes
This vintage presents a vibrant, bright bouquet of red berries, sweet plum, dried herbs, subtle spice, and floral nuances. The palate is silky smooth, with flavours of ripe raspberry, cherry, and strawberry leading the way, complemented by a lovely, rounded mouthfeel. The wine's texture is balanced by a touch of spicy oak and supple tannins, which provide structure and depth. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of fruit and spice. A harmonious and elegant expression of the varietal, with a delicate interplay of fruit, oak, and tannin.
