Very specific pluot smell here
Medium bodied with Pinot like characteristics, twigs and bramble, bright cherry, stone fruit, white pepper and tarragon.
A lovely wine to imbibe with some detective show..

White peppered dried berries, a very interesting nose indeed.
Fresh, bright fruit - think ripe plum, tart blueberry, mint. That white pepper crept back in just before the sweet tart acidic tannin and stony finish.

Pleasant enough and decent value. Doesn't try to do too much which is fine!

Damson plums, blue fruits, blackberry, a bit of bubblegum fruitiness, white pepper and no noticeable oak. It's lively on the palate, but not overly long on or concentrated. Just a super smashable drop, best knock a bit of a chill in it too before drinking.

Mid intensity on the nose with fresh raspberry predominating and more delicate hints of strawberry, cranberry, and perhaps a hint of black pepper (or some other spice). Exceptionally well balanced: dry with medium-high acidity, tannins that won’t screw up your face, and a high alcohol level to complement all those characteristics and really accentuate the freshness of it. Not an especially long finish but who cares? This one is for gloigling! Get it into ya.
