The result is a wine that feels both timeless and effortlessly enjoyable. Tasting Notes Bright ruby in colour, the bouquet is youthful and expressive, opening with aromas of ripe black plum and wild red berries, lifted by refreshing hints of mint, eucalyptus and delicate resinous notes. Gentle oak ageing contributes subtle touches of vanilla that add complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
