Tasting Notes

Light straw in the glass with intense aromas of orange blossom, white peach, persimmon and cracked white pepper with a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and luscious with supporting acidity and flavours of spice-poached apricot, tangerine zest and vanilla bean. The finish is long with lingering flavours of vanilla bean.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby in the glass with aromas of black cherry, plum compote, vanilla and charred oak. Medium bodied with fine tannins and jammy flavours of black cherry, ripe raspberry and pomegranate with notes of sweet spice, red and black liquorice, vanilla bean and a peppery finish.

Decant and serve in large Burgundy-style glasses, slightly cool (18-20oC).  Excellent served alongside classic Bistro fare, grilled or roasted poultry and red meats, game, lightly smoked meats and semi-firm cheeses. Unlike many wines made from Gamay, this powerfully structured version will reward cellaring for up to 10 years with a cornucopia of new aromas and mellowed textures.
