Marlborough

The nose is complex with attractive savoury notes of smoked meats and spice, along with cherry, plum and floral nuances. The rounded palate has flavours of red berry compote and plum with savoury and flinty notes. Well-integrated tannins give the wine a balanced structure.

Reminiscent of tree-ripened black cherries and homemade plum jam, ripe fruit aromas intermingle with a sweet-scented floral perfume. The palate blends blackberries and cherry with hints of smoky vanillin oak seasoned with a sprinkle of dried oregano and cinnamon. This is a deliciously fragrant, finely structured wine with intense varietal expression.

Ruby red in colour, with lifted aromas of cherries and plums, with a hint of redcurrant. Attractive floral notes also shine through which are nicely integrated with savoury mushroom and toasty oak characters. Classic cherry flavours on the palate, supported by hints of plum and redcurrant. Structurally the tannins are soft and silky, while the well balanced acidity ensures good length of flavour.
