This wine defines charisma! Juicy plum and dark cherry fruits combine with licks of mint and fennel that overlay a slatey-granite earthiness. It’s a deep, dark, dangerously intense cabernet with integrated tannins and dense dark fruits wound up in savoury spice.
A powerfully elegant wine displaying restraint and minerality with wonderfully regional pure citrus fruit profile - lemon zest and lime juice alongside elements of grandma's bathpowder at play in the aromatics. This is a wine to lay down and revisit with time - a grand dame of the Riesling persuasion.
A rich creaminess sits up front and that briar, spice and darkest berries continue in-line in the palate. Nothing prickly about the tannin structure though; they have benefited from being afforded extra time in oak and sit like gentle grape dust in the mouth.
