A blend of Tempranillo and Sangiovese – the Spanish and the Italian – which by any calculation is a powerful mix of personalities. It doesn’t disappoint. Cherry, redcurrant, briar, bramble and a distinctive dusty earthiness arrive on the bouquet. It’s an attractive start. What follows brings the strength of the two classic grapes into focus, the lifted cherry and raspberry freshness of fruit, the touch of sour cherry and spice, the pleasant weight and presence of the wine in the glass, which brings with it a versatility at the table. This is no lightweight Rosé. It brings flavour, texture and weight to its calling.
