This wine was going to be one of our finest Rieslings. The accidental addition of Merlot changed this, producing a fine, vivacious Rosé. Genius. Strawberries and cream on the nose, with a Granny Smith apple crunch. A refreshingly satisfying sipper when served chilled.
Colour:
Deep red/black with purple edges and sparkling clarity.
Bouquet:
Loganberries, blackberries and black currants with a touch of oak shavings.
Palate:
A soft, smooth entry with a velvety texture. This is very much a fruit driven wine with the dark fruit flavours filling the palate. It start off with a soft sweet fruit entry and builds into the mid palate demonstrating power and finesse, The finish is long and balanced, with the fruit, oak and tannins combining in harmony. It is screaming out for a roast leg of lamb.
Colour:
Deep black red in the glass with sparkling crystal clarity.
Bouquet:
A cavalcade of dark fruits and spices. Dark cherry, plum with hints of
cinnamon and nutmeg, supported by the savoury French oak.
Palate:
A real fruit bomb. The palate is instantly assulted by rich ripe cherry
and plum flavours bouncing across the palate. The texture is silky
smooth, with length and finesse. The fine tanins and French oak complete
the experience leaving a lingering sensation of wanting another sip.
Match this with roast duck or venison for a real treat.
Colour:
Mid to deep red with a sparkling clarity.
Bouquet:
Lashings of black cherry, strawberry with floral notes.
Palate:
A soft, smooth entry with a velvety texture. The sweet fruit bounces across the palate, finishing with the fine grain tannins and aromatic oak. The black cherry and red fruit flavours are enhanced by a touch of sweet pencil shavings, derived from the new Francois Frere barrels used in conjunction with some older Saury oak. This wine shows elegance and grace. Match this with some char grilled quail for a real treat.
