Product information

The 2019 growing season experienced a wet spring that slightly delayed budbreak and consistently mild conditions that continued through harvest. As a result, the fruit experienced longer hangtimes, gradually accumulating sugar, flavor concentration and optimal balance.

Delicious

I am far from a wine expert but this bottle of wine to me is absolutely delicious. Very smooth and enjoyable. My friends agreed too. My favourite red so far.

Successful choice

Chose this to go with Christmas dinner catering for both vegetarians and meat eaters. It went down well being smooth but also complex enough to be interesting.
