Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby in colour, this premium blend opens with inviting aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, dark cherry, cedar, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, concentrated flavours of black plum, cassis, cocoa, toasted oak, and hints of vanilla are supported by refined tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, smooth, and elegantly layered, leaving lingering notes of dark fruit and spice.
Whether enjoyed today or cellared for future enjoyment, this wine delivers a sophisticated experience worthy of special occasions.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with:
- Juicy grilled steaks
- Roast beef with green peppercorn sauce
- Garlic roasted cauliflower with toasted Asiago breadcrumbs
- Rich and savoury dishes
- Aged cheddar and hard cheeses
