Visions of red fruits, blueberries and purple plums arrive with this lifted aromatic scent. It is quite a sensory experience tethered to a lively spiciness. Ripe fruit is the key here, something celebrated, alongside a cast of dark spices, earth and light savoury notes. The Spanish grape generally possesses some strong natural tannins and here they carry the wine well, finishing cherry pip dry.
