About the wine
Tasting notes
Aromas of dried strawberries, plums and peppermint follow through to a medium body with ripe strawberry and cherry flavors alongside hints of cedar and coffee. Some lead pencil too. Juicy tannins and a savoury aftertaste.

Nerello Mascalese
A rare but much loved red grape variety grown on the volcanic soils of Mount Etna in Sicily. It's kind of like a cross between a Pinot Noir and a Nebbiolo...heavenly...and makes wines that are deliciously light-bodied but intensely flavoured with zingy red fruits, crunchy cherry, spicy cinnamon, dried herbals, zesty acidity, leather and a complex volcanic earthiness that sits underneath it all. A brilliant variety that is growing in popularity by the day!
