VINTAGE
The growing season was defined by a continuously warm to

stalks. Whilst yields were down, once these vineyards were
fermenting in our cellar the concentration of colour, tannin
and aroma of the 2019 vintage was revealed.
TASTING

full of cassis, dark cherry, spice and vanilla. While offering
