This outstanding clay hillside site gives mid palate density, medium body and firm fine tannins. Very low crops ensure concentrated blackberry and plum flavours while floral perfume comes from the 25% whole bunch component. These flavours are complimented by spice from the French oak maturation, to give a well balanced, rich and lingering wine. The hints of savoury spice in this wine pair well with wild meats such as duck or venison, while the flavour concentration and fresh acidity can stand up to strong flavours and fatty meats such as slow cooked lamb. For vegetarian options, the earthy notes pair well with a mushroom risotto or roasted parsnip puree.
