Blood plum, rusty nail and rooibos tea. Some blackcurrants on the vine, peppy leaf and paperbark. There are some Aperol and sarsparilla notes, tangerine and pencil box. A roll up of dried red berry fruit and lovely sandy tannins. Medium bodied and made for sipping with tomato based meat dishes. This has a familiar and homespun attraction, a wine that cuddles you from the inside. When was the last time you made spaghetti bolognese? Drink now.
