The wine is gracefully balanced, demonstrating the minerality and distinct volcanic soil of its terroir. Its enticing aroma draws you in, and the layered, complex flavour profile savoured with each sip. Medium-bodied with a lasting finish, it is both sophisticated and approachable, appealing to both connoisseurs and newcomers to wine. A sumptuous treat for your senses.

Tasting Notes

Red berry, baking spice and a balsamic whiff of camphor lead the nose. On the racy, linear palate, firm acidity and polished tannins accompany sour cherry, orange zest, mineral and aniseed. Taut refined tannins balance the vibrant energy
