This wine was inspired by the constellation Orion whose brightest star is a 'giant red' called Betelgeuse. Orion is known as 'the giant of the heavens'.
Garnet red edge with a dark ruby centre, the nose is complex and intense with layers of fruit and wood indicated by vanilla, spice, red and black berries. The follow through is rich with structure and balance and signs of soft ripe tannins.

A rich dish for a rich wine - Oxtail Stew with herbs and red wine on polenta, Lamb Shank on wilted spinach and mashed potato with lamb jus.
