85 % Shiraz with 15% Malbec, the proportions are expertly crafted in this flavour bomb of a wine. Carbonic maceration makes itself known as the violets and primrose that waft from the glass, blackberry compote and quince paste lead to five spice and sweet anise. The wine is buoyant and acidity nimble with red fruits of strawberry and pomegranate peeking through from the Malbec inclusion. A very pure wine with pristine fruit handling. Drink on its own or with a silky eggplant dip.
