Tasting notes

Alright, so you pop this open and you're hit with lovely red fruit – think ripe cherries and a hint of blackcurrant, not too jammy, just fresh and inviting. There's a little bit of that classic Bordeaux earthiness too, like walking through a forest after rain, but in a good way!

It's got a smooth feel in your mouth, not heavy at all, with tannins that are super friendly. You might even pick up a touch of cedar or a whisper of spice from its time in oak. It’s just a really pleasant, elegant sip that makes you want another glass. Perfect with a juicy roast or even some char siu!
