Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Light Ruby, aged for 8 months in 30% new oak, with aromas of red fruits and herb notes. On the palate flavors of raspberry, strawberry and sweet currants with notes of cacao and earthy notes. Fine soft dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, mineral and earthy character. Very nice value!!

Exceptional Pinot from the heart of Patagonia. Roses, vanilla, pomegranate and balance. Lovely.

One of the members nailed it with “Sweet and Tart”. I’ll expand; The nose was awesome with sugared strawberries. As this breathed it transitions to FRESH NIBS with mineral oil at end. The front end flavour delivered the Strawberry then just a hint of Allspice and finish was very light unfortunately no terroir only tartness of cranberry. Accompanied by Cedar planked Lemon dill Salmon, charred yellow pepper with green beans & new potatoes in butter🍷

Really interesting! Mild and complex. Black cherry, earth, dust and powdery tannins!
