Taste Profile
Tasting Note
Purple in colour with a crimson rim, this wine opens with vibrant Grenache-driven fruit, immediately evoking a sensory journey to an Arabian spice souk—whole pimento, fenugreek, pink peppercorns, anise, and musk intertwine with lifted notes of cola, balsamic-glazed ham, poached quince, sloe berry, and a hint of Campari. Layers of German Schwarzwälder cake and tea-smoked duck add depth and intrigue. On the palate, the blend of varietals works in seamless harmony, delivering a juicy yet precise fruit profile with flavours of lingonberry, loganberry, olallieberry, and red currant. Savoury notes of green tomato salsa and lemon myrtle olives provide contrast, while bright acidity and fine tannins support a beautifully structured wine that is already drinking well and offers great versatility with food.
