Simply, an unmissable treat for the discerning wine lover.

Tasting Notes

Bright and vibrant, this wine displays aromas of ripe red cherry, black fruits and pepper, with hints of cedar. On the palate, it shows intensity and complexity that come from the old vines. Medium-bodied with balancing acidity, this wine has fine, well-integrated tannins from the oak ageing.
