🍇 Tasting Notes

A rich, textural and expressive red blend with both power and finesse. The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing violets, spice and vibrant red and dark berry fruit. On the palate, it delivers pure varietal fruit—plum, blackberry and red berries—layered with white pepper spice and subtle oak complexity.

The bâtonnage technique brings a distinctive creamy, rounded mid-palate, adding depth and mouthfeel. Fine tannins and integrated French oak provide structure, while the balance of red fruit and spice carries through to a long, textural finish with lingering savoury notes.

🏆 BBD Verdict

A standout, small-batch style red—rich, textural and layered. The combination of plush Shiraz fruit, lifted Malbec aromatics and that creamy bâtonnage mid-palate makes this a premium, food-friendly wine that over-delivers in both flavour and complexity.
