Tasting Notes

Vibrant and generous; the 2019 Maître d’ is full of juicy red fruit that rolls playfully across the palate. Blackberries, milk chocolate and soft herbaceous notes make this wine deliciously aromatic. Subtle tannins and fragrant oak reside quietly in the background as flavours of plum, cigar box and mocha cream come to the fore.
