This is one of those wines where the simple twist of the screwcap and a pour into the glass releases one heavenly, lasting fragrance that simply never lets go. It’s a scent and character that penetrates the entire wine in plum, cherries, juniper, orange peel and a world of spice and vanilla. It’s lifted and fresh and full of vigour and verve assisted by fine, lithe tannins that keep the energy flowing. It’s a wine that many will find hard to resist.
