πŸ”Έ  Quite an intriguing nose on this blend with aromas of fresh wild berries, plums, peppery notes and a touch of earthy funk. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied with lively flavours, good energy, fine grainy tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is medium-long with flavours of berries, spices and underlying earthiness.⁣

πŸ”Ή  Definitely one of my favourite low intervention red so far. The star for me, by far was it’s intoxicating aromatics, there is a Brett like aromas that I find quite charming. A very approachable, flavourful red blend with load of character and a juicy finish. ⁣

Cheers my wine friends 🍷⁣
