A blend of Corvina and Rondinella with a touch of Croatina and Oseleta. Dense purple-black in colour offering a spicy, raisiny, cherry nose with chocolate notes; sweet cherry and chocolate flavours; full-bodied and fleshy on the palate with a firm finish.
Shows green, tropical and citrus fruit with lightly aromatic floral notes. Generous fresh apple and citrus flavours; deftly balanced acidity with a lick of mineral lead into refreshing ripe grapefruit lift on the finish.
Fragrant Pinot Noir varietal fruit expression together with elegant floral and light biscuity overtones. Fruit is equally animated on the palate with initial sweet ripeness, then contrasting vibrant acidity and mineral grip, with slightly softening creaminess on the finish.
Firm, stony blackberry baselines an earthen clay and perfumed peony palate, one tense with raging, stemmy tannins and lifted with brisk acidity. Pencil lead and barnyard pervade the black fruit to a bitter espresso finish. Even opening 24 hours in advance of drinking doesn't exclude needing roast beef or lamb stew to match the ferocity here.
Highly aromatic floral and fresh green fruit character with green herbal background notes. Lively grapefruit and stone fruit on the palate with gritty mineral, contrasting creamy texture and lingering peach and floral sensations on the finish.
Fragrant ripe red fruit perfume with a trace of mineral and refreshingly dryness on the palate make this one an ideal summer sipper best with picnic fare and lighter summer dishes.
It’s been a while that this wine has been produced — the fruit was declassified in 2013, 2012 and 2011. It was worth the wait. Let it open up; it will reveal a complex nose of pretty yet assertive black cherries, strawberries, liquorice, earth, loam, violets, cassis and elegant oak spices. It is silky on the palate with a range of red fruits, beetroot and lovely barrel spices all perked up by that racy cool-climate acidity. A beautiful Pinot.
