Tasting Notes
Deep cherry red with purple hints. This is a real cracker - showing the ripe and softened fruit of the region, supported by warmly sweet vanilla notes from the oak barrel ageing. This is a superb red, perfect with roast lamb, beef and full blown cheeses - or a spicy veg Tagine. This really changed our views of the region - quality at a great price!
