Product Notes

Orin Swift Machete wine is a decadent Californian blend that carries an enticing allure. Its strikingly unusual bottle art sets the tone for the intense, full-bodied aroma and taste within. The wine exudes a mosaic of dark fruit flavours like blackberry, complemented by intoxicating hints of tobacco, chocolate and vanilla. A lingering spice-laden finish contributes to the Machete's complex charm. This indulgent blend showcases Petite Sirah, Grenache, and Syrah grapes that have been meticulously aged for 10 months in French oak, offering a beautifully balanced drink. An audacious masterpiece, its depth and character makes it a memorable indulgence.

Tasting Notes

Powerful aromas of crme de cassis, boysenberry and ripe cherries with a soft minerality and hints of dark chocolate can be found on the nose. On the palate, dark plums are prominent with hints of vanilla and chocolate, enhanced by a smooth velvety texture.
