Pure and expressive, with a voluminous and very faintly herbal bouquet of gooseberries, passionfruit, lychees and cassis. Long and generous, with a pure, fruit-focused palate moving down a fine, powdery spine, it finishes with pleasing length of varietal flavour and refreshing acidity. Terrific value.

Spicy and savoury, this is a soft, smooth and unctuous expression of a cooler climate shiraz whose bouquet steadily reveals aromas of redcurrants, raspberries, blackberries and fresh cesary oak backed by faintly herbal, menthol-like notes. Moderate in weight, its structure takes time to emerge, but provides adequate balance and composition for medium-term cellaring. Charming and elegant, with a mouthwatering finish.
