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 with sparkling crystal clarity.
Bouquet:
Black cherry with some dusty caramel and oak notes.
Palate:
With four years of bottle age, the pimply awkwardness of adolescence has been left behind.
The palate is warm, soft, smooth and velvety. Sweet cherry chocolate are the first
sensations, followed by a building warmth through the mid palate and finishing long with
the fine tannins and French oak lingering. 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.
