THE WINEMAKER'S COMMENT

Intense ruby red colour, the nose is elegant and refined. Sensory complexity is evident in the ripe fruit traits of red plums and white peaches. Full-bodied, vibrant and taut on the palate, with remarkable acidity, it has soft, well-smoothed tannins and a balanced finish that lingers on the palate.
