Critics Ratings
‘Compelling aromatics of cherries, plums and beetroot plus some mint, earth and spice on the nose while the palate has a nice roundness to it with fresh acidity and fine tannins. A rustic wine that’s nevertheless full of charm.’ - Christian Eedes, 93/100 (Apr 2022)
'The colour is deep red with a fine brown rim. The nose is still beautiful, some red fruit, some spice and a whispering of forest mushroom. The palate displays the same red fruit and spice, and some freshness with a touch of nuttiness towards the end.' - Bennie Howard CWM (Mar 2023)
