About the wine
Tasting notes
Colour: Medium garnet core with pale rim.Aroma: Scents of crushed rose petals, black cherry, blueberry and subtle cinnamon spice.Palate: Sweet red fruits of plum, wild strawberry and blueberry come to the fore. Fine powdery fruit tannins delicately wrap around the fruit core.Each varietal has an important role to play in the blend. The Sangiovese provides velvety tannins and fresh acid line. The Shiraz provides ripe fruit density and richness, with the Malbec providing floral notes and red and blue fruits.

Expert review
Deep ruby-red colour. Dark berry, cinnamon and wood oil aromas. A big boy on the palate that’s loaded up with dark berries, aniseed and tarry notes. Good length with ample tannins to balance the weight
Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a Tuscan red grape variety that has become the most planted and famous variety in Italy. You may know this variety by a few other names like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Montefalco Rosso or Carmignano, but rest assured it's all the same grape, but it may grow in different regions. Sangiovese is made for food and shows with aromas and flavours of cherry, red berries, roasted tomato, balsamic, Italian herbs, coffee and cured meats, backed by cutting acidity and a good grip of tannins. The best examples come from Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) and can age decades!
