Shows ripe, spicy red and dark fruit on the nose and softly rounded, lightly sweet ripe fruit, led by juicy blackberry and blackcurrant, in the mouth. Supported by firm but approachable tannins, it finishes with a lick of dark chocolate, fine fruit and good length.
A very tasty Tempranillo blend. Dense purple-ruby in colour with a spicy, floral, cherry nose accented by an oak note. Medium-bodied, dry, spicy blackcurrant flavour, firmly structured.
Manzanilla is a bone-dry style of fino sherry, which can only be produced around the port city of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the Spanish province of Cádiz. This is a complex wine with a nose of ocean breeze, iodine, lemon curd and yeasty notes. It’s quite complex on the palate with almond paste and subtle lemon-citrus notes in a bone-dry style.
This rare fino-style sherry is aged in American oak barrels for 12 years. It’s a light amber colour with a nose of toasted almonds and salty sea breeze with subtle exotic fruits. It’s as dry as can be achieved with a reductive note to go with crushed pistachio nuts, sea salt and underlying apricot and tropical fruits. It unfolds in layers and challenges the senses.
Complex, spicy red currant and floral scents suggestive of violets on the nose move to characteristic varietal red currant and blackberry on the palate. Tannins are firm and dry, with good weight and a touch of chocolate, finishing very dry.
