Vivid red with brilliant purple edge.
Lifted bouquet of musk, ginger spice and bright blueberry fruits with notes of ripe cherry and raspberry. Touches of cedary oak and some complex pine needle and herbal nuances add to the appeal of the bouquet.
Bright, juicy sweet fruit floods the palate with plum and blueberry dominating. The soft silky palate is enhanced by fine tannins and bright acidity. This medium bodied wine is flavoursome with wonderful palate 'joie de vivre'.
A wine of vibrant character.
