Intense fruity nose of fresh red fruits with floral notes and flavours of vanilla, spices, cherry, plums and fine oak. This is a lovely, well-balanced wine with a lingering finish.

Sorry, now sold out
Supple texture & good depth of flavour from this hand-crafted wine. Elegant & cedary with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon & a touch of violet. Lovely acidity & silky tannins in the mouth compliment the red fruit flavours. The palate shows good structure, that's both concentrated & controlled.

"Medium straw-coloured, it offers up a fragrant bouquet of mineral, baking spices, spring flowers, citrus and poached pear. On the palate it has a very good core of fruit and a slightly exotic personality. With excellent depth and concentration (a product of a superb vintage), this lengthy offering should drink well for several years. 90 points" Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 2010
