Wine Family: The Classics
Tasting Notes:
The best synergy of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Deep and vibrant purple colour. Fragrant on the nose where black fruits like black cherries and mulberries are followed with a red fruit tone of cranberries and redcurrant. Spice notes of cloves and cinnamon. The palate is complex and sophisticated. A great depth of black-hearted fruits, ripe plum, liquorice and oak flavours. A layer of fresh red fruits, raspberries, cassis, red plum are surrounded by an enticing smokiness and almost meaty finish. Tannins are smooth and savoury. Fresh and clean acidity. Lingering finish. Absolutely ready now but this wine has definitely an assured future.
Behind the Name:
These old, dry grown bush vines grow in shallow soils on hard rock, requiring hand pruning to keep producing berries in this harsh environment. The vines are very small for their age, their tiny shoots giving them a bonsai appearance.
