A fine balance of juicy fruit, savoury herbs and spice, with a distinctive, slightly bitter-sweet “negroni-like” mid-palate texture adding interest and sophistication.

Supple and lacy with fine, loose-knit tannins and fresh acidity.
The finish is long, chalky and mineral, with lingering red fruits, spice and a savoury edge.
