Rich and deep aromas of bramble, blackcurrant, black cherry, and capsicum meet the nose with subtle hints of sticky toffee. The palate is lush with the black fruit flavours following through and rounding off with tobacco and star anise. Textured finish with velvety tannins. Dark Ruby in colour.
Seashell pink. Aromatics open with fresh strawberry, white peach, a hint of white cranberry, and the clean purity of wet stone - all carried by the transparent, ethereal fruit character of the Bottelary’s unique, light soils. On the palate, crunchy pink grapefruit and mixed berries lead to a core of deep raspberry and tangy acidity. Understated, with a stony texture and a pure, limpid structure; a fine thread of white pepper spice lifts and sculpts, leading to a bone-dry, precise finish.
Juicy plum, raspberry and strawberry notes are complimented by earthy notes of mushroom and pencil shavings. A savoury wine with a smoky undertone. The tannins are fine and elegant with a lengthy enduring finish. Medium Ruby in colour.
