Winemakers Notes
Alcohol Percentage: 13.5 %
Type of Vine: Blend

They can range from fairly fruity styles to majestic, ageworthy examples and while the deep plummy and wild cherry fruit is always evident it is usually complemented by nuanced earthy and cocoa tones and often reveals a strikingly deep mineral note.
