Tasting Notes
Beautifully perfumed and umami nose with deep purple violets, blackberries, fynbos and a twist of black peppercorn spice. Generous yet elegant, with leathery tannins and warm spice. The palate is layered with rich, intense and plush flavors of dark berries with fresh herbal notes – the quintessence of the variety.
